Venue and event services provider Events DC is the signature sponsor and founding partner for Overwatch League expansion team Washington Justice.

Events DC patches will be prominently featured on Washington Justice jerseys.

The partnership includes live event experiences, content, and access to local venues run by Events DC.

Newly-created Overwatch League expansion team, Washington Justice, has revealed Events DC as the founding sponsor for its inaugural season. The partnership includes Events DC logos on the front of team jerseys, live event experiences for fans, and the ability to play in local venues.

“This partnership is a natural fit for us, as a part of the city’s greater vision to position the District as an esports capital,” said Gregory A. O’Dell, president and chief executive officer of Events DC in a release. “D.C.’s first Overwatch team is a prime example of our strategic efforts with our partners across the city to grow and reinforce our commitment to D.C.’s esports market and exploding fanbase.”

Events DC recently extended its existing partnership with NRG Esports to sponsor the team’s Overwatch Contenders training house.

For now, Washington Justice will play its inaugural season at Blizzard Arena in Burbank, California, and in the future will play at home in a venue located in Washington, D.C. The team’s arrival is eagerly awaited by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who hopes that esports will boost tourism.

“Washingtonians are excited to cheer on the Washington Justice during their inaugural season and we are looking forward to welcoming the team home next year,” said Bowser. “With the help of Events DC, we are once again showing why Washington, DC is both the sports capital and the capital of inclusive innovation.”

Events DC manages and/or owns several venues around the nation’s Capital, including the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, and the newly erected $65M USD Entertainment & Sports Arena.
