WASHINGTON, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Washington Justice are proud to announce a multi-year partnership with McDonald's beginning with the 2022 Overwatch League season. Through this partnership, the Justice and McDonald's will collaborate on a number of initiatives to engage local Overwatch fans in the DMV. Over the course of the 2022 season, McDonald's will sponsor a sweepstakes where two grand prize winners will receive exclusive prizes including a McDonald's Arch Card, Justice and Logitech gaming gear, and the opportunity to 1v1 a Justice player on Overwatch 2. Ten secondary winners will receive a McDonald's Arch Card as well as a VIP Ticket to a Washington Justice watch party.

"McDonald's is a globally admired company synonymous with excellence, and we are very proud to be partnering with them for the upcoming season" said Mark Ein, owner of the Washington Justice. "McDonald's has built one of the most recognizable and innovative global brands and their support of our franchise, along with the unique opportunities it will provide to our fans here in the DMV, is a true testament to the explosive growth of esports and the appeal of the Overwatch League."

In addition to collaborating on a season-long sweepstakes, the partnership will feature facility branding integration at the Justice's headquarters located in Penn Quarter, as well as on site giveaways for fans in attendance at watch parties throughout the 2022 season. The Justice will also support McDonald's HBCU esports industry event slated to take place in the fall of 2022.
