The next two destinations in the Blast Rainbow Six Siege (R6) esports calendar have been revealed, ahead of the 2025 Fall Major and Six Invitational.
Game publisher Ubisoft and tournament organiser Blast, have chosen Munich, Germany, to host the Fall Major this November.
Meanwhile, the Six Invitational will return to Paris, France, next February.
The Blast R6 Major in Munich will be hosted at the BMW Park Arena and will be the city’s first Rainbow Six esports event.
Running from November 8th to 16th, the tournament will feature 16 teams competing for a $750,000 (£560,000) prize pool.
The Six Invitational will take place in Paris between February 2nd and 15th, 2026. It will mark a homecoming in Ubisoft’s home city.
It was last hosted in Paris in 2021, but it was held behind closed doors due to pandemic restrictions.
A press release from Blast said that 20 teams will compete for a multi-million-dollar prize pool and the coveted hammer, to close out the competitive R6 esports year.
Rainbow Six executive producer, Chrystina Martel, said: “We’re incredibly excited to bring the BLAST Rainbow Six Major to Germany for the second time and for the very first time to the vibrant city of Munich.
“With 16 of the world’s top teams competing over eight days of high-stakes action, fans can expect an unforgettable tournament experience.
“And with the Six Invitational set to return to Paris early next year, we’re especially thrilled that this time it won’t be behind closed doors. Welcoming thousands of fans back into the arena adds an entirely new energy to the event, both for the players and the community.”
