Washington Justice is partnering with PenFed Credit Union for the 2020 season

The Washington Justice, D.C.’s professional Overwatch League esports team, is partnering with PenFed Credit Union for its 2020 season.

The McLean, Virginia-based national federal credit union will be the presenting partner for the team’s inaugural homestand weekend, this Feb. 22 and 23. Each day, there will be three matches and certain PenFed cardholders will get access to a VIP experience which includes a meet-and-greet, VIP lounge, special merchandise and more.

Matches this upcoming weekend will be hosted at The Anthem, a music venue and auditorium in the District Wharf area.

“We have already built a large, enthusiastic fan base who can’t wait to take part in this memorable, historic Inaugural Homestand Weekend where we will begin to establish our Greater Washington region as one of the esports capitals in the world,” said the team’s owner, Mark Ein, in a statement. “Having the support of PenFed, a pillar of the DC community and one of the strongest financial institutions in the US, reinforces everything our local team stands for.”

This partnership announcement comes after the Washington Justice celebrated its first win of the season against the Houston Outlaws on Feb. 15.

And just like that, we've got our first win of #OWL2020!!
