To offer a better understanding of what players can expect from a career in the Overwatch League, here are a few key benefits included in the Overwatch League Player Agreement:

Teams will sign players to one-year guaranteed contracts with the option to extend the contract for an additional year.
The minimum salary for players is USD $50,000 per year.
Teams will provide players with health insurance and a retirement savings plan.
Teams will distribute at least 50% of their team performance bonuses (i.e. money from winning playoffs and other League events) to their players directly.

The total bonuses available for Overwatch League teams in Season 1 will amount to USD $3.5 million, with a minimum USD $1 million awarded to the Season 1 champion.

The Overwatch League is set to launch later this year.
