Overwatch events - all active events in 2026

June 3, 2026: We updated this guide to reflect the recent changes made to the 10th Anniversary event. What Overwatch events are currently running? Events give you the chance to try out some heroes that you may not use regularly, challenging you to win games by meeting certain requirements. It doesn't matter if you can repeatedly land headshots as your favorite DPS heroes; you'll need to be well-rounded to complete all the Overwatch events. The easiest way to earn in-game rewards and experience points to level up your Overwatch battle pass is by completing event challenges. You typically won't be able to complete most of the Overwatch events unless you know what the challenges are, which is why this helpful guide should make that process easier.
