Overwatch League 2023 Playoffs: Scores, schedules and standings

The final Overwatch League event of the 2023 season ended with two teams fighting in Toronto to see which team was the best Overwatch squad in the world, and who was the sixth Overwatch League champion.

This event was the first Grand Finals in a LAN environment outside the United States. The Toronto Defiant hosted one event for the Overwatch League before these finals—the Summer Showdown tournament in 2022—but held the final event of the 2023 season, and potentially the league as we know it.

How to watch the Overwatch League 2023 Playoffs

As of 2023, the Overwatch League remains a YouTube-only broadcast via the Overwatch League YouTube channel. Other languages are also available, with their own official channels on YouTube.

Overwatch League 2023 playoffs format and groups

The Overwatch League 2023 playoffs consisted of two sections: the playoffs and the Grand Finals. The playoffs were a four-team double-elimination group stage, with two teams from each group qualifying for the Grand Finals stage. The group stage stretched from Sept. 28 to 30.

The Grand Finals section of the playoffs was single-elimination, with two semi-final games, a third-place match, and the grand final itself. All four Grand Finals games were on Oct. 1.

All matches aside from the title match from Oct. 1 were best-of-five series, while the finals was a best-of-seven.

The groups were decided by a draft, where top-seeded teams would draft teams to the opposite bracket. Then, teams would draft in order until all teams were chosen. Here are the groups below:

Group one

• Atlanta Reign
• Boston Uprising
• Hangzhou Spark
• London Spitfire

Group two

• Dallas Fuel
• Florida Mayhem
• Houston Outlaws
• Seoul Infernal
