About the Overwatch World Cup

"Never accept the world as it appears to be, dare to see it for what it could be." — Dr. Harold Winston

As Overwatch Esports celebrates 10 years, the Overwatch World Cup returns to the Anaheim Convention Center Arena at BlizzCon 2026. Since 2016, the OWWC has brought together the world's best players to represent their teams in the ultimate battle for international glory. Every match is more than a competition—it's a celebration of their pride, passionate fans, and the communities that make Overwatch special.
