Rainbow Six Siege X developer Ubisoft has announced that it will open a Six Invitational 2026 pop-up store during the crowning event.
The store will be open from February 10th to 15th, 2026, at 23 Rue Du Sentier, 75002, in Paris, France.
Pop-up stores have been a regular feature in past Six Invitationals, with the previous store selling on-site merchandise during the 2025 world championship in Boston, Massachusetts, US.
It has not been confirmed what will be sold at the pop-up store aside from ‘exclusive products and activities’. However, it is possible that attendees will see themed apparel and accessories sold during the tournament, similar to past years.
This has become the latest promotional feature revealed by Ubisoft ahead of the event. The developers also opened predictions for the Six Invitational on January 20th, offering in-game rewards such as Alpha Packs and Battle Passes for successful guesses.
What is the Six Invitational?
The Six Invitational 2026 is the crowning event of the Rainbow Six Siege X esports circuit, which is scheduled to run from February 2nd to 15th in Paris, France.
20 of the top teams, including major champions, regional winners and Last Chance Qualifier underdogs, will compete for the lion’s share of its $3m (~£2.19m) prize pool.
Some of the teams to watch include 2025 champions, FaZe Clan, alongside other top performers this year, such as the Munich Major winners M80.
The tournament will be divided into two distinct stages. The Group Stage will feature four Round-Robin groups competing in BO3 matches. The bottom team of each group will be eliminated, while the rest will be seeded in the Playoffs based on performance.
The Playoffs will unfold as a double-elimination bracket before concluding with a BO5 Grand Final with no map advantage.
The Six Invitational will end another season of Rainbow Six Esports before kickstarting the next year. Ubisoft has already partially unveiled what to expect in 2026, including its tier-two Challenger Series.
