This is exactly why people start looking for ways to collect League Tokens after finding out that so many high quality skins can only be purchased with that specific currency. Fortunately, we know how you can get League Tokens, and you won't even have to spend a single cent of your own money.

The only way to get Overwatch 2 League Tokens is by watching official Overwatch 2 events. To be specific, you have to live stream official Overwatch League matches to be rewarded with League tokens. To do this, you have to link your Overwatch 2 account with either YouTube or Twitch and live stream the events, with players earning five League Tokens for every hour of live Overwatch League matches watched on eligible platforms.

Without further ado, here's how you can get Overwatch 2 League Tokens.

Earning Overwatch League Tokens

Before you dive into collecting Overwatch League Tokens, it's essential to understand how you can earn them. You earn five League Tokens per hour for every hour of an approved event or video that you watch. These tokens can add up quickly, allowing you to unlock your favorite team's skins and other exclusive items.

What Are Overwatch League Tokens Used For

The primary use of League Tokens is to purchase exclusive in-game items from the Overwatch League Shop. These items include team skins, player skins, and other team-themed cosmetics. By using your tokens wisely, you can customize your heroes to proudly represent your favorite Overwatch League team

It's important to note that Overwatch League team skins and other related items in the shop are often available for a limited time. This adds an element of exclusivity to these cosmetics, making them even more desirable for dedicated fans. League Tokens enable you to seize the opportunity and acquire these time-sensitive items before they're gone.

Connecting Your Battle.net Account

To begin collecting Overwatch League drops from YouTube and Twitch live streams, you must connect your Battle.net account to your YouTube or Twitch account. Fortunately, we're here with a step by step guide for both platforms.

Before we start, however, it's important to note that to redeem League Tokens for in-game items, viewers must have a valid Overwatch game license. Xbox One, Steam, PlayStation4, or Nintendo Switch players must have their Xbox Live, Steam, PlayStation Network, or Nintendo account linked to their Battle.net account as well.

Troubleshooting and Common Issues

While connecting your accounts is generally straightforward, here are some common issues and solutions:

• If you want to connect your Twitch account instead of YouTube, you can do so through the Battle.net Connections page on the Battle.net website.
• Make sure you're logged into your connected Twitch or YouTube account while watching an event to receive credit for your viewership.
• Some browser plug-ins can prevent Twitch or YouTube from recording your presence during a stream. Temporarily disable these plug-ins to ensure you're eligible for rewards.
• You may not receive a notification for rewards earned on YouTube, but rest assured, the rewards are correctly provided in-game.
• If you've unlinked a Twitch account from your Battle.net account, you'll need to wait for 7 days before linking a new one.
• Resetting your Twitch password can break existing links to Battle.net. If this happens, follow the steps above to unlink and relink your Twitch account to your Battle.net account.
