How to Link Accounts
- Navigate to your Battle.net Account Connections page.

- If the correct account is linked, you are good to go!
- If no account is listed, click the +Connect button to start the linking process.
- Make sure you are linking the correct account, as there are cooldowns for changing account links. Customer Support cannot assist with bypassing cooldowns on linking accounts.
- If the wrong Xbox Account is listed and it has been more than a year since the accounts were linked:
- Click Disconnect
- Click +Connect to start the linking process for the correct Xbox Account
- If the wrong Xbox Account is listed and the link cooldown has not expired, you will need to use a new or different Battle.net Account to link to your Xbox Account.
