OWL Set To Release Detailed '20 Schedule For Homestands

The Overwatch League today is expected to release the '20 homestand weekend schedule, which will detail the number of events each team will host and when. The second-year league will transition to its full home/away schedule next year after mainly playing the first two seasons at Blizzard Arena in Burbank, Calif. The Activision Blizzard-owned property has already revealed the general structure that all teams will host at least two homestands next year and that some teams will host as many as five, but the release today is expected to reveal specifics.

The league is hosting three homestand weekends this year as dry runs for next year, including this weekend’s Kit Kat Rivalry Weekend hosted by the L.A. Valiant at The Novo at L.A. Live. The Dallas Fuel and Atlanta Reign previously hosted Bud Light-entitled homestand weekends earlier this year.
