At Tuesday morning's Overwatch League media event, it was announced that the League will be streamed on Twitch. A two-year deal was struck with the Amazon-owned streaming service to broadcast every Overwatch League game. Twitch, along with Activision-Blizzard's Major League Gaming streaming platform, will be the exclusive home of the Overwatch League for the first two seasons.
During the Overwatch League preseason, games were streamed exclusively through Major League Gaming. While a deal with Twitch was expected by most observers, nothing official had been confirmed prior to this announcement.
The Twitch/MLG exclusivity deal does not apply to the Chinese market. The broadcast partner(s) for China have not yet been announced.
The Overwatch League will be available to watch starting January 10th at 4pm PST on Twitch, MLG, and the Overwatch League website. While January 10 and 14 are sold out, tickets for the rest of the first three weeks are still available.
