Buying OWL skins is incredibly easy in Overwatch 2 as you just need to go to the in-game shop and select the ones(s) you want.

In just a few steps, you’ll be in a prime position to get the skins you want, and you just need to do the following:

Select the Shop from the main menu.
Click the Overwatch League button on the top-left of the screen.
Chose the OWL skin you want to buy.

It’s important to note that you’re technically getting two skins for every basic OWL skin you buy. This is because each team’s gear comes with Home and Away skins. Away skins are always white, whereas the Home skins are designed in the team’s main colors.
