The Six Invitational is the most prestigious competition in Rainbow Six Siege's esports ecosystem. Since its debut in 2017, only ten rosters have won it, with the list currently including nine teams.
For those unaware, the Six Invitational is always played before the game's year ends. Each year starts in March and, logically, lasts for twelve months. So, a Year of Rainbow Six Siege is presented at the Six Invitational and deployed shortly after.
The upcoming Six Invitational, the Six Invitational 2026, will start on February 2 and conclude on February 15. The competition will be played in Paris, France, at the Adidas Arena.
This isn't the first time that the Six Invitational takes place in the City of Love. Five years ago, the Six Invitational traveled to the French capital, but that happened because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was played behind closed doors. Fortunately, this won't be the case next month.
While an official schedule for the matches hasn't been unveiled yet, viewers should expect the action to start at 10 PM CET. Based on previous editions of the Six Invitational, the Six Invitational 2026 will consist of four groups of five teams each.
Including twenty teams, the winner of the Six Invitational 2026 is expected to take home USD$1M. Here's a look at all of the teams that have qualified so far:
- M80 (BLAST R6 Major Munich champions)
- Team Falcons
- FaZe Clan
- Spacestation
- Weibo Gaming
- FURIA
- G2 Esports
- Shopify Rebellion
- Elevate
- Team Secret
