The 2019 Overwatch League playoffs will be the postseason tournament of the 2019 Overwatch League regular season, beginning on September 5, and will conclude with the 2019 Grand Finals, the second championship match of the Overwatch League (OWL), on September 29.

Eight teams will compete in the OWL Playoffs – a double-elimination tournament. The winner of each round of the Playoffs will be determined by a single-match, where each match winner is determined by which team wins four maps. The final two teams remaining in the tournament will advance to the Grand Finals, which will take place at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The defending OWL champions are London Spitfire, who won the title against the Philadelphia Fusion in the 2018 OWL Grand Finals.
