Blizzard has unveiled a first look at the new 2026 OWCS partner team skins, presenting users with a glimpse at the fourteen new skins coming on August 11. This season’s bundle opportunity offers users an array of items as part of these team packs, including multiple hero skins, a name card, player icon, spray, weapon charm, and a Jetpack Cat skin to boot.
This is part and parcel of the esports offering backed by Activision. It’s a similar concept to the in-game team packs that you can get in the Call of Duty League, long seen as the sister circuit to the Overwatch Champions network.

Overwatch Partner Team Skins Revealed by Blizzard
In a post on social media, Blizzard revealed a first look at the new OWCS partner team skins with a one-minute trailer, showcasing what players will get their hands on when the bundles go live on August 11:
Not everyone is happy with how skins work these days, but that’s life. Once upon a time, partner team packs guaranteed a sweet skin for every hero in Overwatch, but now, you get a randomized set for five heroes. Unfortunately, that means that you’re not guaranteed to get a skin for the hero you main, but that’s the risk you need to run to support your organization, I guess.
Here are the esports organizations partnered and receiving a team pack on August 11, along with the heroes that get a skin as part of the pack:
- Crazy Raccoon: Vendetta, Moira, Genji, Emre, Zenyatta
- T1: Freja, Domina, Soldier: 76, Juno, Reaper
- Team Falcons: Illari, D.Va, Mizuki, Cassidy, Wuyang
- ZETA DIVISION: Anran, Reinhardt, Lifeweaver, Hazard, Tracer
- Twisted Minds: Domina, Genji, Kiriko, Sombra, Ashe
- Virtus.pro: Vendetta, Roadhog, Brigitte, D.Va, Emre
- Team Peps: Illari, Soldier: 76, Lifeweaver, Anran, Hanzo
- Spacestation: Roadhog, Reinhardt, Emre, Echo, Ashe
- Team Liquid: Illari, Lifeweaver, Junker Queen, Anran, Hanzo
- Dallas Fuel: Freja, Domina, Zarya, Moira, Mercy
- Disguised: Vendetta, Soldier: 76, D.Va, Mizuki, Doomfist
- Weibo Gaming: Domina, Vendetta, Illari, Mei, Ashe
- JD Gaming: Mauga, Junker Queen, Kiriko, Bastion, Anran
- All Gamers: Hazard, Genji, Soujourn, Emre, Mercy
This means that a whopping 84 new skins will be added across the entire array of organizations. The model means that 17 heroes will not get a skin, and that includes the likes of Junkrat, Winston, Lucio, Pharah, Sierra, and Shion, which has left some gamers with a sour taste in their mouths.
Talking of Overwatch, would you believe that Crazy Raccoon is the number-one pick on Polymarket to win the entire event at the Esports World Cup?
Finally, in terms of pricing, each OWCS partner team skin pack should cost around 2,500 Overwatch Coins.
