Twitter Will Carry Overwatch League Highlights, Weekly Show

Twitter has agreed to a multi-year content arrangement with the Overwatch League to share highlights and produce a weekly esports show on league activity.

The agreement, which was announced on Thursday, begins this weekend with near real-time highlights from the Overwatch League All-Star Weekend, taking place at Blizzard Arena in Los Angeles. Clips of the action will be produced throughout the OWL’s regular season and playoffs every year for the duration of the deal. (The exact number of years was not specified.)

Beginning with the 2019 season, Twitter will host Watchpoint, a weekly show touting upcoming matches and recapping the action with analysis and stats.
