Opening ceremony

BlizzCon 2019’s opening ceremony will be livestreamed on Blizzard’s Twitch and YouTube channel at 1pm CT on Friday, Nov. 1.

The opening ceremony will be home to all of the biggest announcements, including the rumored reveals of Overwatch 2, Diablo 4, and more. It’s free for everyone to watch.

Virtual Ticket

Beyond the opening ceremony and the esports events, if you want to watch any of BlizzCon’s special panels or other streams, you’ll need a Virtual Ticket.

The Virtual Ticket costs $49.99 and includes a host of in-game goodies for World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and Starcraft II.

You can find the full schedule of events on Blizzard’s website.

Here’s some of what to expect from the Virtual Ticket streams:

Most, if not all of the new announced projects will have panels right after the opening ceremony.

  • Hearthstone update (7:15pm to 8pm CT)

It’s safe to expect some news about Hearthstone’s newest expansion in this presentation. Is the Hearthstone Auto Chess rumor real?

WoW’s newest expansion should be on display, as well as a possible update on WoW Classic.
