The Overwatch League has announced that Season 5 will begin on May 5, which it previously confirmed to be played on an early build of Overwatch 2.

In a blog post, the Overwatch League provided details about the upcoming season and some of the changes that will be implemented. Some of the planned changes to Overwatch that are coming with Overwatch 2, like the new 5v5 team setup and the new game mode Push, will be implemented in Season 5. These changes are set to come to the original Overwatch whenever Overwatch 2 launches.

In November, Activision Blizzard announced delays for both Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4, with both games likely not launching until 2023. In September, the Overwatch League confirmed to the Washington Post that Season 5 would be played on an early build of Overwatch 2. The announcement for the delays came two months after it was announced that the Overwatch League would use a build of Overwatch 2.
