What is the level cap in Overwatch?

Question

Is there a max level I can hit after a certain point in Overwatch? I know some players have been saying there is no level cap, but it seems like there are certain icons that get upgraded as you level up.

What is the level cap in Overwatch?

Answer 1

There is no level cap.

There is a level exp cap, that scales until you hit level 20:

Current Level	XP needed for next level
Level 1	1500
Level 2	3000
Level 3	4500
Level 4	6000
Level 5	7500
Level 6	8500
Level 7	9500
Level 8	10500
Level 9	11500
Level 10	12500
Level 11	13500
Level 12	14500
Level 13	15500
Level 14	16500
Level 15	17500
Level 16	18500
Level 17	19000
Level 18	19500
Level 19	20000

As of a recent update, every level past level 20 now only requires 20,000 exp to reach the next rank, and this is consistent even after "prestiging". So once you hit Level 100, then reset back to level 1, but with a new prestige border icon, you will still need 20k exp to get to the next level, and so on.

New portrait borders are given every 10 levels, starting at 1, 11, 21, 31, etc.

After you hit level 100, you "prestige" and reset your level to 1, but gain a new portrait border. This happens every time you hit level 100 again.

At level 1890, or approximately your 18th "prestige" and at level 90, you will finally gain the last portrait border which appears gold and although you can continue prestiging over and over again your profile border will no longer change.
