Founded in 2017, Houston Outlaws is one of the league's twelve founding members and is one of two professional Overwatch teams based in Texas (the other, Dallas Fuel). Originally, the Outlaws were established by OpTic Gaming and then acquired by Infinite Esports. The 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, had set strict standards to keep the teams independent. Subsequently, IGC sold the Outlaws to the Beasley Media Group in November 2019.
The Outlaws have qualified for the season playoffs twice in their existence and reached the Grand Finals once, in 2023.
On November 10, 2023, the Houston Outlaws officially announced that they would no longer be competing in the Overwatch League and instead shifting their focus to content and entertainment.
