It’s once again that time of year where Overwatch fans, World of Warcraft maniacs, Diablo freaks, Hearthstone-heads, and StarCraft fiends all gather together to celebrate and learn more about their favorite games.
That’s right, it’s time for BlizzCon, and this year is due to be an exciting one. So how can you watch all of the cool new announcements and trailers? Look no further.
Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony will be home to all of the biggest announcements, including the rumored reveals of Overwatch 2, Diablo 4, and more. It’s free for everyone to watch.
