US financial firm State Farm has inked a new partnership with the Overwatch League, arguably the biggest property in esports.

The Overwatch League unveiled the partnership, which is limited to North America, on the first day of the 2019 season on February 14.

State Farm had on-screen branding throughout the opening broadcast, but its full inventory of rights is yet to be confirmed.

Blizzard Entertainment, which owns the Overwatch League, also announced partnerships with Intel, T-Mobile, Toyota and Coca-Cola ahead of the season launch.
