The 2020 Overwatch League season is officially in the books. Now it’s time to turn our attention to the 2021 season, and that begins with the official start of free agency on October 24.
Below is a team-by-team look at the contract status for all players that were under contract at the conclusion of last season. Players are listed by role and designated into the following contract categories (note that free agents may still re-sign with their team but are able to discuss offers with all teams):
- Under contract—already signed with current team for the 2021 season
- 2021 option exercised—team has exercised their option to extend for the 2021 season
- Free agent—team option declined for 2021
- Free agent—existing contract is expiring
- Free agent—mutually agreed release from existing contract
During the 2020 season players earned an average base salary of US $106K, up nearly $10K per player from the 2019 season. The median player salary was $92K, up more than $10K from 2019. The league minimum player salary remains $50K plus benefits. Players also collectively received a minimum of 50% of the total prize pool awarded to their teams during the season.
Roster information in this article is current as of October 21 at 10 a.m. PT. For more information on 2021 roster construction rules, go here. On October 23, the 2021 player tracker—with signings, releases, and trades—will be available on this website. Teams must have a minimum of 7 players under contract by January 4.
