Six Invitational 2026 Group Stage Revealed

Ubisoft has confirmed the groups for the upcoming Six Invitational 2026 in Paris, alongside the qualification format that will see teams advance. Each of the four groups is made up of five teams, with one side being knocked out in the first round.

It looks set up to be an exciting Six Invitational 2026 Group Stage, with so many stories and possible upsets on the cards. The event will last for just two weeks, but there’s a lot of Siege action to get done in that time.

Six Invitational 2026 Group Stage Format

Similar to previous years, the Six Invitational 2026 in Paris will follow a similar format to previous years. The group stage will start on February 2nd and run till February 6th. The event is on LAN but behind closed doors. Group stage matches will be played at Best-of-Three, with each side playing each other once.

The side that tops the group will head directly to the Upper Bracket Round 2. Sides that come 2nd and 3rd will be sent to the Upper Bracket Round 1 and will play against each other, though from different groups, most likely. The final side to advance will be the team in 4th place, who will go into the Lower Bracket and will face the loser of the 2nd and 3rd place. The side that ends in 5th place will be eliminated from the event.

The group stage will work on a points system, with points awarded between 4 and 0 depending on the result:

• 4 points for a 2-0 win
• 3 points for a 2-1 win
• 1 point for a 1-2 loss
• 0 points for a 0-2 loss

Moving into the playoff stage, which starts on February 8th and runs until February 10th, with the first half of the playoffs also happening behind closed doors. The final stage, from February 13th to February 15th, will be held at the Adidas Arena in Paris.

All matches in the playoff stage will remain on the Best-of-Three format, with the Grand Final being played as a Best-of-Five.

Teams and Groups

Here are the teams and each group, as confirmed by Ubisoft:

• Group A – FEARX, M80, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Team Heretics (former Project Zero), Weibo Gaming
• Group B – Daystar, Elevate, FURIA, Team Falcons, Wildcard
• Group C – Black Dragons, Dplus, FaZe Clan, G2 Esports, Shopify Rebellion
• Group D – ENTERPRISE Esports, Fluxo W7M, Oxygen Esports, Spacestation Gaming, Team Secret

We’ve got a strong selection of groups to play with in Paris. With links to our previews of each group included in the respective section of the Six Invitational 2026 Group Stage.

M80 will feel very confident that they can top Group A, having won the Munich Major in late 2025. Elsewhere, Group A marks the return of BNK FEARX, who return to the Six Invitational after two years out. Another interesting story comes from the fact that former Ninjas in Pyjamas player Guilherme “gohaN” Alf, is now the coach of Weibo Gaming. The two sides will meet on the opening day.

In Group B, it will be a lot closer with Team Falcons and Furia expecting to do well, while Daystar, who will be making their first showing at a Six Invitational, will be looking to make a splash. Interestingly, Group B will also feature the 2025 Six Invitational Upper Bracket Final matchup of Team Falcons vs Furia. Though, with Furia has never lost a Group Stage game since the Six Invitational used this format, they will be the ones to beat.

Group C is likely going to be the one to watch, with G2 Esports, Shopify Rebellion, and FaZe Clan standing out. Having three strong sides in one group is going to make for a special series of matches. G2 Esports have dominated past group stages, so that it will be a real test of their resolve. One interesting fact about this group is that of the 25 players represented in the group, 17 are from Brazil.

Group D is the final group to look at, and it will be another interesting one. We have Team Secret that won the Esports World Cup 2025, alongside Spacestation Gaming, who secured victory in the NA Regional League. It’s also interesting to note that Group D is very similar to a group from Six Invitational 2025. Spacestation Gaming, Oxygen Esports, and W7M Esports (now Fluxo W7M) all grouped up last year, with VIrtus.rpo and SCARZ replacing ENTERPRISE and Team Secret.
