The players representing each country were selected by their National Competition Committee; player tryouts were held from July 13 to July 14. The Committees selected up to 12 players to represent their country and then had to cut it down to 7 players for their final roster.

Any country wishing to participate is eligible to play in the preliminary rounds, a single-elimination, seeded bracket. The top five countries based on their national ranking will not have to play in the preliminary rounds and will have any automatic bye to the group stages. A country's national ranking will be determined by a point-ranking system based on final placements in the previous World Cups; the seeding will be based on the national rankings. The top five countries from the preliminary rounds will move on to the group stages.{{cite news |last=Viana |first=Bernardo |title=The Overwatch World Cup 2019 is coming in November, Blizzard reveals |work=Dot Esports |date=April 25, 2019 |url=https://dotesports.com/overwatch/news/the-overwatch-world-cup-2019-is-coming-in-may-blizzard-reveals |access-date=April 25, 2019}}
