When it comes to competing in Rainbow Six Siege, players instantly think about Ranked. Divided into different tiers, players can climb the standings by winning their matches; from Copper to Champion, each rank rewards players with Packs, Competitive Coins, and Packs. For many, it's the main reason to play Siege!

However, with Operation Twin Shells, Ubisoft added another competitive game mode: the Siege Cup. There, players must team up with four other players before registering their squad. Once the squad is registered, the team is placed in a single-elimination bracket. Through the Siege Cup, players can obtain Competitive Coins that can be used to unlock Competitive Packs. Sounds good, right?

Unfortunately, the Siege Cup has been hit by various issues since its release in Operation Twin Shells. While problems were expected, due to the Siege Cup still being in a beta phase, players couldn't compete in a couple of editions because of problems when inviting friends.

Another issue was the Siege Cup's time: played on Friday afternoon and evening since December 2024, many players' working or studying schedule would clash with the tournament's kick off date. Logically, many players started asking for better times and even the day to be changed to the weekend.

Fortunately, the time has finally come. As announced by Ubisoft on Rainbow Six Siege's official X account (former Twitter) the Siege Cup time has been updated and, although the change has been minimal, many players will be able to finally register.

Starting from the next Siege Cup, which will be played on March 21, the starting time will normally be between 6 and 9 PM depending on your location.

For instance, the Siege Cup for players located in Europe and MENA will start at 7 PM GMT. While this is 6 PM for British-based players, that's 9 PM for players located in Saudi Arabia.

Here are all of the starting times for the Siege Cup that will be played on March 21, 2025:

  • Siege Cup in North America and LATAM: 8 PM EST
  • Siege Cup in Europe and MENA: 7 PM GMT
  • Siege Cup in Oceania: 7 PM AEDT
  • Siege Cup in APAC: 8 PM CST
