  1. Head over to Battle.net and login to your account.
  2. Head over to the Connections section.
  3. Scroll down a bit to find Twitch.

Watching livestreams is a great way to earn League Tokens for free, but the quantity you get is not enough at times. So, if you’re really interested in buying your favorite Overwatch 2 teams’ cosmetics, you can purchase League Tokens from the store.
