How to get League Tokens in Overwatch 2

In Overwatch 2, League Tokens are a premium currency you can use to purchase different Overwatch League skins for Heroes. They cost real money but you can get some for free simply by watching OWL livestreams.

The skins you get by spending League Tokens are related to the esports teams in the Overwatch League. They come in various styles and themes and are arguably some of the best-looking skins available in the game. Here’s how you can get them for free.

How to get Overwatch 2 League Tokens for free

You can get League Tokens for free by watching Overwatch League live matches on either YouTube or Twitch. For every hour you watch, you get five League Tokens.

Here’s how you can connect your Twitch and YouTube accounts to Blizzard:

Connecting Twitch account

1. Head over to Battle.net and login to your account.
2. Head over to the Connections section.
3. Scroll down a bit to find Twitch.
4. Click Connect next to it and follow the instructions.

5. Follow the instructions and your accounts will be linked.

Watching livestreams is a great way to earn League Tokens for free, but the quantity you get is not enough at times. So, if you’re really interested in buying your favorite Overwatch 2 teams’ cosmetics, you can purchase League Tokens from the store.
