It looks as though the official Call of Duty Twitter account will be streaming the show directly onto the social media platform, and that's where its promotional material is currently pushing viewers towards, suggesting it'll be a fairly reliable stream. 

Alternatively, you can watch the event live on YouTube here, or the official Call of Duty Twitch channel here.  So long as you have reliable internet, and a device that can run live video, you should be good to go.
