In case you enjoy watching as your favorite content creators get to play with the new game updates ahead of time, there is something special afoot. Yet despite what the proud title might've indicated, we are not going to see a single special preview event hosted and organized by Blizzard. Instead, it's just a collection of various separate regional streams going off at different times, with everyone involved being granted a form of 'early access'. Akin to the familiar "theorycrafting streams" we got used to seeing for Constructed expansions; except now it's a Hearthstone Battlegrounds edition.
Quote From Blizzard Join your favorite content creators as they embark on a quest to discover the magic coming in Battlegrounds Season 2. Join 40 players from around the world as they preview the new Battlegrounds content, including the new Quests mechanic and the new Magic of Azeroth themed cosmetics!
And there is a lot to be previewed, to be sure:
- All New Content, Special Rewards Track & Season Pass Coming to Battlegrounds
- Detailed Look at Quests, New Gameplay Mechanic for Hearthstone Battlegrounds
- All Quest Types and Two New Heroes
- Collected Quest Rewards Reveals
- Final Reveals and an Interview with Hearthstone Battlegrounds Developers
The entire thing won't be going on for very long, but there should be something fitting for every timezone:
Regional Battlegrounds Preview Streams - Dates and Times
Everyone gets 5 hours to play with the new content, with Europe and Americas going together to begin with, and Asia being given two separate windows:

You can learn more about Battlegrounds Season 2 in the 24.2 Patch Notes, the Quest Preview Blog, and the 24.2 Announcement Blog. Then don’t forget to tune in and see what these players can make of the new Season content!
Since it's a Battlegrounds special, there shouldn't be any Twitch drops to be expected (that we know of or can imagine).
Planning to take a look at any point, or it's just not appealing enough without any rewards?
