The Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026 is just around the corner as it will take place between August 4 and August 15 in Paris, France.
This week, twelve teams will qualify for the main event, joining the already qualified Team Secret and Al-Ula Club. Here's a look at the rosters that could secure spots in the next few days, all of them from the Europe and MENA League, the North America League, and the CN League.
Europe and MENA League
Between July 6 and July 7 we will meet the four teams that will represent Europe and MENA at the Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026.
On July 6, the winners of the clashes G2 Esports vs. Team Falcons and Virtus.pro vs. Geekay Esports will qualify for Paris, France. The defeated sides will drop to the Lower Bracket, where they will play on July 7 against either FNATIC or Rebels Gaming.
Based on the teams' performances throughout the group stage, G2 Esports and Virtus.pro are the favorites to book their Esports World Cup 2026 tickets on July 6. Meanwhile, on July 7, Team Falcons and Geekay Esports would be favorites to follow the next day.
North America League
Between July 9 and July 10 we will meet the four teams that will represent North America at the Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026.
The Upper Bracket Quarterfinals include the games M80 vs. 100 Thieves and DarkZero Esports vs. Wildcard. The winners of each series will qualify for Paris.
On paper, M80 are favorites to beat 100 Thieves, even though the American roster hugely improved their results from Kickoff to Stage 1. If that were to be the case, they would play against the BLAST R6 Major Salt Lake City grand finalists Shopify Rebellion. Only the winner would qualify for the Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026.
On the other side of the bracket, the BLAST R6 Major Salt Lake City champions DarkZero Esports will face off against Wildcard. The purple roster is the favorite to take the spot, after having beaten Wildcard twice in Salt Lake City. However, in the North America League, Wildcard's record is better this year with two victories and only one loss. The defeated side will fall to the Lower Bracket and will play against For Fun Esports.
CN League
Between July 10 and July 12 we will meet the four teams that will represent China at the Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026.
Unlike the Europe and MENA League and the North America League, the CN League uses a longer double-elimination bracket where third, fourth, fifth, and sixth seeds face off before joining the first and second seeds in the Upper Bracket Semifinals.
Following a poor final group stage run of results, All Gamers dropped from the league's Top 2 as those initial two seeds were taken by EDward Gaming and TYLOO. Surprisingly enough, KINGZONE eSports finished in third place, followed by All Gamers, Leviatán, and One Coin.
On July 10 we will see KINGZONE eSports playing against One Coin as the winner will move to TYLOO's side of the bracket. Meanwhile, All Gamers and Leviatán will face off as the winner will play against EDward Gaming.
The first two teams from China to qualify for the Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026 will come from the games that will be played on July 11, 2026. The defeated sides will play against the teams that lost the day before. The final two spots will be awarded on July 12.
At the time of writing, the favorites to represent China in Paris are EDward Gaming, All Gamers, TYLOO, and KINGZONE eSports. Leviatán is also very close.
