Click here for recent changes to Overwatch League schedule and online play

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 Outbreak, all remaining homestand matches for the months of March and April have been canceled. Because of this, the Overwatch League has reorganized the schedule and made key changes to allow teams who have yet to play to catch up and still play in their native regions via online matches (similar to that of Overwatch Contenders).

  • All matches are now played on the online Overwatch Tournament Client in one of three regions: China/South Korea, U.S. West Coast, U.S. East Coast
  • The Mid-season tournament has been canceled and the All-Stars event moved to after the Grand Finals.

Conferences and Divisions

With teams playing matches in their home cities, we’re breaking the 20 teams into two conferences, with two divisions in each conference.

PACIFIC EAST PACIFIC WEST ATLANTIC SOUTH ATLANTIC NORTH
Chengdu Hunters Dallas Fuel Atlanta Reign Boston Uprising
Guangzhou Charge Los Angeles Gladiators Florida Mayhem London Spitfire
Hangzhou Spark Los Angeles Valiant Houston Outlaws New York Excelsior
Seoul Dynasty San Francisco Shock Philadelphia Fusion Paris Eternal
Shanghai Dragons Vancouver Titans Washington Justice Toronto Defiant

Each team will play 28 total regular-season matches, which includes two matches against each in-conference opponent and one match against all out-of-conference teams. The regular season will consist of 26 weeks—with all matches played over weekends—and will include a break for All-Stars and a midseason tournament between Weeks 12 and 13.

Each team will host at least two home weekend events during the season, with an additional 12 events—three per division—collectively hosted by teams in their home territories. Tickets are now available for most of those events, and additional location and ticketing information will be released soon.

Match Structure

New in 2020, teams will play regular-season matches in a first-to-three format. Each match will open with control, and then teams will play hybrid, assault, and escort in an order that rotates across matches to ensure they are played evenly throughout the season. If a match reaches the fifth map, only control maps will be played until a team gets to three map wins. After every two maps played, teams will get a quick break to strategize.

In order to keep the map variety fresh, we’ll be changing out the map pool four times during the season. All control maps will be in play throughout the entire season and each map pool will feature three maps from each of the other game modes. A new map pool will be used for the postseason.

Throughout the season, we expect Overwatch to receive several game patches. Overwatch League matches will take place on the most updated patch, but the rollout of those patches will be somewhat delayed from the actual game to the Overwatch League to ensure we’re able to properly deploy them and provide teams a window to practice on the new patch before they are asked to compete on it.

All-Stars and Midseason Tournament

After Week 12 of the season we’ll take a break for All-Stars festivities—and a new midseason tournament. All-Stars will feature the league’s best players competing in a series of fun game modes. We’re also planning some 1v1 action and another Talent Takedown. Stay tuned for more details. These All-Stars events will have a total prize pool of US $250K, so there’s more than just bragging rights on the line in 2020.

The midseason tournament will feature the top four teams in the league: the top team from each conference and the next best two teams by record from either conference. In order to manage logistical requirements for teams around the world, the teams will qualify based on their record over their first nine matches in the 2020 season. Those teams will play in a single-elimination bracket, with the top seed picking their opening-round opponent.

Postseason

The 2019 postseason was epic, and we heard positive feedback on the format from our players and our fans. The 2020 postseason format is similar to 2019, with a play-in tournament followed by double-elimination bracket play culminating in the 2020 Grand Finals. The seventh- through 12th-seeded teams in the standings will qualify for the play-in tournament.

The double-elimination bracket will feature the following eight teams:

  • The two top teams per conference as the top seeds (as determined by record with map differential as the tiebreaker)
  • The next four teams across both conferences as the three to six seeds
  • The two teams that advance from the play-in tournament as the seven and eight seeds

We’ll share more details about the postseason as the season progresses.

  • First place—$500K

Time for another fun-filled series of intense, highly competitive Overwatch action with the best players in the leag… oh Boston Uprising…

Um… yeah.

Hi everyone! What all did you have for breakfast?

As a friendly reminder that after these two matches today, there will be the hero pool draw and an apparent “important announcement” during the Watchpoint Post Show.

Just ate my dinner xD

Im guessing it will be about previewing the All-Stars skins and talking about how will they organize All-Stars with the current condition.

And Boston Watchparty started now. Dont forget it for the ticket spray.

We already have some information on this. All-Stars will be taking place after the Overwatch League season completes. Because of this announcements of the 2020 All-Star skins is extremely unlikely.

For those asking about that… Boston Uprising Virtual Watch Party presented by Samsonite - Article Meta Data | Boston Uprising

Instructions:

  1. Go to https://uprisinglive.overwatchleague.com/
  2. Sign up for a Maestro account
  3. Watch starting at 1:00 PM Eastern Time and receive a redeemable code that can be claimed through your Blizzard Battle.net Account. (Console players must have their game console account linked to Battle.net in order to claim.)

This is NOT one of wave 1 sprays from the first five homestand weekends. I am presuming this will be the only way to get this specific spray.

Well we got more information about the “special announcement”, Jon Spector is the Blizzard Vice President of Overwatch League. So whatever the announcement is, will be strictly league related.

7

Got the code. Interesting, but i’ve got all the homestand sprays

8

Did you ever redeem a Wave 1 code? Originally back in the day, the codes were suppose to give away 10 sprays in wave 1 (first half of the season), and 10 sprays in wave 2 (second half of season). Boston’s was part of wave 2.

9

Im not. I was surprised since it said only the Boston spray is the reward. I will still watch the live there though.

EDIT: Yeah, these are only the Wave 2 ones

10

Oh, boy, now what’s the delay…

Did somebody anger Nori?

I miss Mayhem’s old colors. They felt more like a proper representation of Florida. And I ate nutella on toast today for breakfast. Skipped lunch. Thinking chicken for dinner.

12

Do I need to be watching from that link to receive the code?

13

Yes, you can’t do this just from YouTube alone.

i much prefer florida’s newer colors since imo theyre way better on the eyes but i do kinda miss the mcdonalds ketchup and mustard colors

15

I wasn’t a fan of the red but the yellow reminded me of Sunshine. Which is very appropriate for Florida. Wish they had just done yellow and black or something.

16

Thanks. Will I get it immediately or will there be after a certain amount of time?

17

That spray will be extremely rare. So watch on that website if you’re a collector.

18

You just sign up, click the trophy icon. If you are on mobile, just click view as desktop and then click it. You’ll immediately get the code and can redeem it right away. I just did it and watched none of it on that site.

You will see them in the game client immediately. Please note the code has no description in the Code Redemption screen, and in the game client there will be no icons in the hero gallery. These are listed as items.
