The Overwatch mid-season update is right around the corner, and fans are naturally excited to try out everything that’s coming with the latest patch. The new update will feature quite an interesting array of additions, starting from a new collaboration, Mythic-rarity skin, and much more.
In this article, we will provide you with a detailed brief on the Overwatch mid-season countdown. Read below to know more.
Overwatch mid-season start date and time for all regions
The Overwatch mid-season update is set to go live worldwide on March 10, 2026, at 11 am PT/ 6 pm UTC/ 11:30 pm IST. Since players have the option to preload the entire mid-seasonal content beforehand, there is generally no downtime after a patch goes live.
If you’ve already predownloaded the content, you can directly access the game as the patch lands and explore all the new additions that have been made with the latest update for the title.
That said, here’s a detailed look at the start dates and times for the OW mid-season update:

As we’ve stated above, the upcoming patch definitely has quite a lot in store for the community. Other than the teased additions, namely the Project YoRHa collab, the Mei Mythic-rarity skin, and other cosmetics, we also expect to see a wide range of hero balance changes in the game.
The latest ban-wave post by the official OW handle indicates that some heroes are getting banned at a disproportional rate. Naturally, we expect Blizzard Entertainment to incorporate the necessary balance changes to help improve their pick-rate and potentially reduce their ban-rate in the upcoming mid-season update.
That’s everything that you need to know about the OW mid-seasonal patch.
