Six Invitational 2026 Schedule and Location

The 2026 Six Invitational will return to Paris, taking place at the Adidas Arena. Paris previously hosted the event in 2021. Organizers anticipate this year’s tournament will be incredibly significant, potentially rivaling the record-breaking 2024 Six Invitational held in São Paulo, Brazil.

Here’s the Six Invitational 2026 schedule and format:

Group Stage

Okay, so all twenty teams start out in a big group stage. They split us up into five groups of four, and every match we play at this point is a best-of-three – meaning we have to win two games to take the win!

This phase of the event takes place from February 2nd to February 6th and will be held privately, with viewing available only online.

Okay, so here’s how the playoffs work. The top team in each group automatically makes it to round two – that’s awesome! Second and third place get into round one, which is still great. If you finish fourth, you’re in the lower bracket, meaning you’ve got a tougher path. But if you end up last in your group, well, that’s game over – you’re out of the tournament. Gotta aim for those top spots!

Playoffs – Round One

The first round of the playoffs will take place without fans present, from February 8th to February 10th.

Playoffs – Round Two

The second round of the playoffs will take place from February 13th to February 15th at the Adidas Arena, and fans will be able to attend in person.

Okay, so the playoffs are going to be pretty intense! It’s a double-elimination bracket, which means you have to lose twice to be out. Most matches will be best-of-three – first to win two games takes it. But the final? That’s best-of-five, so it’s a real battle to decide the champ!
