The Houston Outlaws were an American professional Overwatch esports team based in Houston, Texas. The Outlaws competed in the Overwatch League (OWL) as a member of the league's West region. The Outlaws qualified for the season playoffs twice in their existence and reached the Grand Finals once, in 2023.
Founded in 2017, Houston Outlaws was one of the league's twelve founding members and was one of two professional Overwatch teams based in Texas (the other, Dallas Fuel). The Outlaws were established by OpTic Gaming and were later acquired by Infinite Esports. Immortals Gaming Club (IGC) acquired Infinite Esports in 2019, marking the first change of ownership of an OWL franchise. However, IGC already had ownership of Los Angeles Valiant, and while the League allowed IGC to operate both teams, the league had set strict standards to keep the teams independent. Subsequently, IGC sold the Outlaws to the Beasley Media Group in November 2019. In November 2023, following the closure of the Overwatch League. the Outlaws announced that they would no longer be competing in the Overwatch esports and instead shifted their focus to content and entertainment. Six months later, the organization entirely shut down.
