Teams release underperforming staff members, up the paychecks of their star players, and battle each other to sign the next Rookie of the Year. Not much is known about the 2021 Overwatch League season, but we do know that change is inevitable for most rosters.\u00a0\u00a0 Expect enormous shifts during the 2020 offseason. After a difficult year of quarantine and online tournament play due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many players may opt to retire or pursue other opportunities in esports. With these likely retirements comes the opportunity for new stars to rise and join the Overwatch League.\u00a0 Teams must have a minimum of seven players signed by Jan. 4, 2021, according to the roster construction rules for the 2021 season. Teams have until Oct. 16 to extend contracts that were created in 2020 and until Nov. 13 to extend contracts from 2019. Players who aren't re-signed by Nov. 20 will become free agents, able to be signed by any team within the league.\u00a0 Our offseason tracker begins in September, seen at the bottom of the page, when many teams were knocked out of Grand Finals contention.

The Overwatch<\/em> League offseason is always the most chaotic time of the year. Teams release underperforming staff members, up the paychecks of their star players, and battle each other to sign the next Rookie of the Year. Not much is known about the 2021 Overwatch<\/em> League season, but we do know that change is inevitable for most rosters.  <\/p>

Expect enormous shifts during the 2020 offseason. After a difficult year of quarantine and online tournament play due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many players may opt to retire or pursue other opportunities in esports. With these likely retirements comes the opportunity for new stars to rise and join the Overwatch<\/em> League. <\/p>

Teams must have a minimum of seven players signed by Jan. 4, 2021, according to the roster construction rules<\/a> for the 2021 season. Teams have until Oct. 16 to extend contracts that were created in 2020 and until Nov. 13 to extend contracts from 2019. Players who aren’t re-signed by Nov. 20 will become free agents, able to be signed by any team within the league. <\/p>

Our offseason tracker begins in September, seen at the bottom of the page, when many teams were knocked out of Grand Finals contention. It will continue to be updated throughout the Overwatch<\/em> League season. <\/p>
