The Overwatch World Cup (OWWC) is an annual international Overwatch esports tournament organized by Blizzard Entertainment, the game's developer. Unlike other Overwatch tournaments, the World Cup is contested by national teams representing their respective countries. The tournament ran annually from 2016 to 2019, after which it returned in 2023 and 2026.

The tournament format varies each year, but to date, the top-ranked teams from each World Cup's group stage have advanced to a playoff bracket held at BlizzCon.

South Korea won the first three World Cups and reclaimed their title in 2026, while the United States and Saudi Arabia won 2019 and 2023, respectively.
