What teams have qualified for the Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026?

The Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026 is set to start in just one month, on August 4, 2026. The tournament, which will be held in Paris, France, will be played from then until August 15, 2026.

So far, Rainbow Six Siege's regional top flight leagues have just reached the playoff stage. Now, it's up to the teams to show up when it matters the most: most of them are just one BO3 win away from securing their presence in the USD$2M competition.

The Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026 will be its most competitive edition. The tournament will have a long format, similarly structured as a BLAST R6 Major. Additionally, it will include 22 teams, with China making its Rainbow Six Siege debut in the Esports World Cup 2026.

Here's a look at how many teams will each region send to the Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026:

• Europe and MENA League: Four teams from G2 Esports, Virtus.pro, Team Falcons, Geekay Esports, Fnatic, and Rebels Gaming
• North America League: Four teams from M80, DarkZero Esports, Wildcard, 100 Thieves, Shopify Rebellion, and For Fun Esports
• South America League: Four teams from FaZe Clan, FURIA, Ninjas in Pyjamas, LOS, LOUD, Fluxo W7M, Black Dragons, Immortal Esports, INTZ, and Team Liquid Alienware
• CN League: Four teams from All Gamers, EDward Gaming, TYLOO, KINGZONE eSports, Leviatán, One Coin, Four Angry Men, and Titan Esports Club
• Oceania League: Two teams from Chiefs ESC, ENTERPRISE Esports, Man eSports LFO, and Rival Esports

• APAC North: One team from CAG Osaka, KINOTROPE gaming, SCARZ, and Dplus KIA
• Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2025 Champion: Team Secret
• MENA Qualifier: Al-Ula Club

At the time of writing, only two teams have qualified for Rainbow Six Siege's Esports World Cup 2026. Here's a look at them:

Team Secret

Team Secret was the first confirmed team at the Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Cup 2026 as they are the defending champions. However, only two players remain from the lineup that lifted the trophy in August 2025: Yanis "Mowwwgli" Dahmani and Noah "Noa" Urwitz.

Following the departures of Adrian "Adrian" Tryka, Marc "jume" Steinmann, and Lucas "Savage" Alves, who joined Wildcard, Team Falcons, and M80, respectively, the team had to go back to the drawing board. The incorporations of Ben "CTZN" McMillan and Nathan "Nafe" Sharp didn't go as planned, resulting in their departures and the immediate signings of the former Team Heretics players Daniel "Flexy" Esmail and Oscar "Oscr" Deacon as well as Drillz.

Al-Ula Club

Al-Ula Club will represent MENA at the Rainbow Six Siege Esports World Club 2026 after winning the MENA Qualifier. The team found no opposition as they completed a perfect run of results, winning nine maps and losing none.

The team includes former Team Falcons player Hussein "Valantino" Shrara, who played at the BLAST R6 Major Copenhagen and the Six Invitational 2024. The team also includes three players of Saudi Arabia's national team, which will feature at the Esports Nations Cup 2026, in Mohammed "cCrazy" al Johani, Naif "mhagr" Baabdullah, and Khalid "Gwzh" al Amiri. Finally, the roster is completed by the Iraki player Yousif "Bazoka" Aljber, who will be the first player from Irak to play at an international Rainbow Six Siege competition.

It's worth noting that Al-Ula Club will be the only MENA team in Rainbow Six Siege's Esports World Cup 2026 after the BLAST R6 Major Salt Lake City semifinalists Twisted Minds failed to qualify for it.
