Overwatch Contenders 2022 Schedule - Earn Skins

The following heroes have already had their Contenders skins available in past Overwatch Contenders promotional months.
At this time there are no plans to re-release these skins in future promotions.

• *In the later matches during the month of October 2020, some of the hours failed to record preventing many users from successfully earning the Symmetra and Mercy skins. As such, a second chance opportunity was granted for users in the month of December 2020 by watching 18 and 20 hours of OWC streams respectively.
• ** Due to malfunctions during early broadcasts in the month of March, hours required were reduced from 7 hours to 3 hours for Bastion, and 15 hours to 10 hours for Reinhardt.
• *** Since October 2020, Genji's Contenders Home and Away Skins are granted to every player who logs into Overwatch automatically, no stream watch time is required.
