Esports News UK has all the info you need to enjoy the Six Invitational 2026, as Rainbow Six Siege X’s biggest event of the calendar rolls into Paris.

The $3,000,000 tournament will conclude with a Bo5 Grand Final in the 9,000-capacity Adidas Arena, but who will get there?

Groups are set, and history is waiting to be made at the Six Invitational 2026, from February 2-15.

The Six Invitation Groups set

The groups set up some tantalising matchups, with Falcons, Wildcard, and Furia set to clash in Group B.

Group C features some of esports’ most celebrated orgs, with Six Invitational 2025 Champions, FaZe, set to face strong opposition in G2 and Shopify Rebellion.

M80 come into the Invitational after BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025 victory, riding high. To the extent that anything is predictable, they look to have a clean path to the Playoffs.

Spacestation Gaming will also be hoping to continue their moment, which saw them defeat M80 and SR on the way to NAL Regional Finals victory.

Overall, Group D seems like a brawl, with Fluxo W7M also being one of the hardest shooting teams in Rainbow 6 Siege X.
