Okay, let me explain it. So, in the future, humanity has created robotic life called the Omnics, which are looked down on. The company creating the Omnics had put something called 'the God Program' in it, which was hacked and caused the Omnics to turn on everyone.

This was the start of the Omnic Crisis.

Overwatch rose up, created to help fight, lead by Jack Morrison. It had a less then legal inside branch, known as Blackwatch, lead by Gabriel Reyes. Ana Amari was a higher up and love interest of Jack, butwas supposed killed in the line of duty, which she wasn't. People like Mei, Tracer, Mercy, Reinhardt, Torbjorn and Winston were all apart of Overwatch, while people like Mcree were a part of Blackwatch.

When the Omnic Crisis was eventually won, a bit later an explosion happened at one of the bases, supposed killing Jack and Gabriel, but in reality the two lives on, Jack going on to become Solider: 76 and Gabriel becoming Reaper, and joining the criminal group Talon, which included other characters like Sombra, Doomfist, Widowmaker and Moria. After this, the secrets of Blackwatch were revealed, and it was completely disbanded.

A few years later, Winston is like, "Hey everyone we need to get back together even though it's actually illegal now," and everyone does.

Oh, and Overwatch and Blackwatch never fought, the entirety of Overwatch fought against Talon.
