Overwatch BlizzCon 2026 schedule revealed
Blizzard outlines Overwatch events for BlizzCon 2026, featuring the World Cup quarterfinals, a new hero deep dive, and concerts by YOASOBI and LE SSERAFIM.
BlizzCon 2026 will host a packed schedule of Overwatch events across two days in September. The slate includes the Overwatch World Cup quarterfinals, a deep dive into a new hero, and live musical performances.
According to a schedule published by esports.gg, the festivities begin on September 12. The first day's Overwatch programming starts with a deep dive panel, which is presumed to focus on a new hero. This session is scheduled for the Main Stage in Hall D of the Anaheim Convention Center from 3:25 p.m. To 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
Overwatch World Cup and Development Panels
Esports action follows with the Overwatch World Cup 2026 quarterfinals. Later on September 12, a panel exploring Overwatch's artwork and collaborations will run from 6:15 p.m. To 7 p.m. PT in the Overwatch World Cup Arena.
The tournament continues on the second day, September 13. A halftime show performance by the musical duo YOASOBI is scheduled from 12:15 p.m. To 1:15 p.m. PT. A separate developer livestream is also planned for the Legends Stage from 3 p.m. To 3:45 p.m. PT.
Live Events and Concerts
Another featured event is "Questwatch: Live." The source indicates this is a reference to Overwatch 2 Season 5 from 2023 and may be related to Dungeons & Dragons. An update to the report specifies that Questwatch is indeed tied to tabletop role-playing and will feature Matthew Mercer, the voice actor for Cassidy. This event is set for the Main Stage from 12 p.m. To 2 p.m. PT on September 13.
The schedule also includes a concert by K-pop group LE SSERAFIM, which has previously collaborated with Overwatch. Their live performance is slated for September 13 at 6 p.m. PT on the Main Stage.
