The Preston Championship (originally the OWA Hardcore Championship) is an unsanctioned professional wrestling championship owned by Online Wrestling Alliance. Upon introduction, the championship was defended under 24/7 rules, meaning that the title could be won by anyone, anywhere at anytime, as long as a referee was present to count the pinfall or call for the submission. This rule was lifted when Preston Scott won the title and removed it.

The championship was introduced on the April 19, 2013 edition of Online Wrestling Alliance, where Jeff Palmer introduced the physical belt and claimed to be the "best wrestler, in and out of the ring", and declaring he would defend the title against anybody at anytime.

Fifty-two reigns are shared among thirteen men and two women. The man with the longest reign is Preston Scott, who was champion for 66 consecutive days. The man with the record for shortest reign as champion is Alex Johnson, who lost the title 23 seconds after winning it.
