These OWCS co-streams are allowed on any streaming platform.
The Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS) has announced a co-streaming program. This program hopes to increase the ways that Overwatch 2 fans can engage with the series. It also allows hosts to bring the esports action to their own communities, create their own content out of the co-streams, and more. Read on for how the OWCS co-streaming program works, the guidelines, and how to send in your application.

According to the announcement, these OWCS co-streams can take place on any streaming platform. This is a major change compared to the prior Overwatch League (OWL) ruleset. Another big change is that OWCS co-streamers can upload VODs and create content out of their OWCS co-streams. Additionally, co-stream hosts just need to apply once for the 2024 season.
