Overwatch 2's Competitive Esports content has moved to the FACEIT platform, where viewers can tune in to watch match streams, utilize new features, and gain exclusive drops for their accounts. One such opportunity for drops is going on during the OWCS Round 2 playoffs, which kicked off on June 21, 2025.

During this time, a series of matches will be going on throughout the specific dates as teams go head-to-head against one another to progress to the next stage. However, there are also some interesting drops going on throughout this event, including the likes of Overwatch Coins - the main currency for the game that is used to purchase Battle Passes, Skins, Mythic Weapons, and more. To find out how you can potentially gain some free Overwatch coins from OWCS, the information you need has been outlined below.

To earn free Overwatch Coins from the OWCS streams, players must ensure they tune into the official match streams at the listed times via the FACEIT website. This website has all upcoming match times listed, so you can keep an eye on your favorite teams and make a plan of when you will be able to tune in based on your timezone.

While watching these matches, players who remain tuned in have a random chance of receiving a drop in the form of a code for Overwatch Coins between the value of 500-1000 per code. This promotion will be available between the dates of June 21 - June 29, so players will want to tune in for as many matches as possible to give themselves more chances at being one of the lucky drop recipients.

Players who are lucky enough to gain one of these drops will have their drop code go straight to their FACEIT account inbox and/or email account. This means that you don't need to worry about linking your battle.net account with the platform like you do when collecting Twitch or YouTube drops. Instead, players can grab this drop code straight from their FACEIT/email account inbox and paste it straight into the redemption bar in battle.net to be awarded the coins on that account.

While there has been some concern from console players about missing out on this opportunity, sources have confirmed that said players can instead visit the FACEIT website on their mobile devices and earn their drops by watching this way.
