All Overwatch World Cup teams and committees

There are 36 teams in total.

The Overwatch World Cup is finally back after a three-year break due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic, and with every nation naming their GM and head coaches in such a short span of time, it might be difficult to keep up.

There are six qualification groups that consist of a total of 36 teams that represent countries and regions. There are two groups of countries in the Americas, two groups in Europe and the Middle East and Two Asia-Pacific regions.

Three teams will qualify from the “A” group of each region and two will qualify from the “B” group of each. Each team competing has a general manager tasked with coordinating team operations and a head coach that will lead tryouts, player selection, and competitive organization.

Rosters for each team are set to be announced next month following a tryout period, and the qualifiers will take place in June at which point the 36 teams will be whittled down to just 16 that will compete in the Group Stage of the World Cup later this fall. An eight-team single elimination bracket will determine the World Cup Champion afterward.

Here is a list of every team competing along with their GMs and head coaches.
