The Overwatch League 2023 playoffs have begun

It’s been a shorter road this year, without as many major tournaments, but the big stage is here. Toronto is lit, with eight teams competing to walk away as the best team of the 2023 season. Championships talk after all. Watch via the links below!

The Overwatch League Playoffs have finally arrived! Coming to you live from Toronto, the action is just minutes away as the Hangzhou Spark take on the Atlanta Reign to kick things off, at 10am PT / 1pm ET on YouTube. The final 8 teams will be battling it out over the next four days in front of a raucous crowd for the chance to raise the Grand Finals trophy on Sunday. Check out the full bracket below to see what’s in store this week!

While the teams square off looking to secure vital wins, fans at home will be winning as well, as they’ll have the opportunity to earn drops all week long, including a spray, a skin, and battle pass tier skips for Overwatch 2.

And finally, the best Overwatch play in the world won’t be the only thing on display this week, as the Overwatch League desk will be joined by Executive Producer Jared Neuss and Game Director Aaron Keller of the Overwatch 2 team for a deep dive on the new map, Samoa! Not only will they shed some light on the inspiration and design of the map, but fans will then be able to see the map in action as some surprise content creators take the stage to show off their skills.

We hope you’ll join us to celebrate the end of the Overwatch League’s sixth season! To stay up to date on the Overwatch League, Playoffs, Grand Finals, and all things Overwatch esports, follow OWL on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.
