How to Link Your Account for Overwatch 2 Twitch Drops
Getting Twitch Drops in Overwatch 2 is quite simple; you just need to link your Battle.net and Twitch accounts. This should be done regardless of whether you already connected them for the first Overwatch game.
To get started, log into the Battle.net account you use to play Overwatch 2 on the Connections page of your account settings on the Battle.net website. At the bottom there will be an entrance for Twitch.

Click Connect on the right side and you will be transported to the Twitch site to connect and confirm your information. Make sure you are logging into the correct accounts you want as there is a seven day wait before you can switch to others. Review all of the confirmation pages, including the one on the Battle.net site, and you’ll be good to go.
How to Get Twitch Drops for Overwatch 2
Twitch Drops are really simple to understand. When an event is in progress that allows Twitch Drops, Blizzard announces it, and streamers on Twitch will have something in their stream titles saying they have “Drops enabled”. Watch these streams for a combined two hours, sometimes more, and you’ll start earning drops, but you have to claim them to get them in-game.
Once you have earned the Drops, click on your profile icon on Twitch and go to Drops. Under the Inventory tab are all the items you can claim. Once you claim them, they will appear in your Overwatch 2 account within 24 hours. Make sure you are logged in to the region you normally play in, as loot will only be delivered to that region. You have 14 days to claim them before they expire.
