Six Invitational (SI) is an annual world championship tournament for the five-on-five esports video game Rainbow Six Siege. Produced by the game's developer Ubisoft, Six Invitational is the final event of the competitive Siege season and consists of 20 teams, 16 based on the final results from the Season Global Standings and four from Europe, North America, Latin America, and Asia Pacific regional qualifiers. SI was first held in Montreal, home of the Ubisoft studio working on the game, until it began to be hosted internationally starting with Six Invitational 2021.
The most recent champion is FaZe Clan, who won Six Invitational 2026 after winning the year prior.
Format The Six Invitational 2020 announced enormous changes to both the game itself and the competitive scene. The changes included the end of Pro League and a new points-based system. These changes to the competitive scene have been compared to that of Dota 2 and League of Legends. The 20 participating teams are broken up into four groups of five. In each group, every team plays each other once. The top four teams from each group advance to the playoffs, while the fifth place teams are eliminated. The playoffs use a double-elimination bracket, with the top three teams from each group advancing to the upper bracket and the fourth place teams entering the lower bracket. Each playoff game is played as a best-of-three series and the grand final is a best-of-five series.
