by

At the beginning of the tournament, players are still getting warmed up and familiarizing themselves with the competition. However, four teams will be eliminated in this phase, and the teams that won their groups will be in a better position for the playoffs.

The Six Invitational 2026 will kick off with four groups of five teams each, all competing for the top three spots. This tournament wraps up the 2025 competitive season of Rainbow Six Siege. While 2025 had some bumps with content and technical problems, Rainbow Six esports remained thrilling to watch.

The Group Stage is usually a good tune-up for the best teams before the main tournament. It also gives less favored teams a chance to surprise everyone with big wins. For fans, these five days are packed with high-quality Rainbow Six Siege matches.

Results in four Groups at Six Invitational 2026

The Six Invitational 2026 tournament offers a huge prize pool of $3,000,000 and the chance to be crowned the world’s best Rainbow Six Siege team. However, the Group Stage is simply the first round, where teams battle to qualify for the playoffs.

Teams that finish first in their groups move directly to the quarterfinals. Second and third place teams also advance, but they start in the first round. Teams finishing fourth drop to the lower bracket, where they face a tougher path with the risk of being eliminated quickly. Finishing last in your group means being eliminated from the tournament.

In this competition, teams will play each other in a Round Robin format, meaning every team faces every other team. Points are awarded based on how well each team performs in their matches.

Expectations ahead of the Groups

The teams competing in the 2026 Rainbow Six Siege Six Invitational represent various regions and have unique histories. Several teams are expected to perform well, and betting odds confirm these expectations.

  • Group A has the Munich Major 2025 champions, M80. The team did not perform too well at the regional finals, though. Ninjas in Pyjamas represent the traditionally super-strong region, South America / Brazil.
  • Group B is a battleground for FURIA and Team Falcons. FURIA are the winners of RE:LO:AD 2025, the first esports event for the revamped game R6 Siege X. Falcons were second at the Munich Major and earned first place on the Global Points leaderboard.
  • In Group C, we have FaZe Clan, the Six Invitational 2025 champions. Also, G2 Esports are here, the grand finalists at the R6 Esports World Cup 2025.
  • Group D has the EWC 2025 winners, Team Secret. Also, the legendary team w7m esports is here, under the new name, Fluxo W7M. Their most recent tournament win was at Montreal Major 2024.

The Six Invitational playoffs are split into two parts. From February 8th to 10th, teams will compete in private matches. Then, from February 13th to 15th, the final rounds will be held live at the Adidas Arena in Paris, France.
