Six Invitational 2027: São Paulo hosts Rainbow Six's world championship on Feb. 1 to 14, with arena days at Suhai Music Hall and a $3 million prize pool

Rainbow Six’s biggest event goes back to Brazil. Here’s when and where the Six Invitational 2027 runs, what tickets cost and how teams get in.

When and where is the Six Invitational 2027?

From Feb. 1 to 14, 2027, in São Paulo, Brazil, according to Ubisoft. The top teams from every region play for the world title, a $3 million prize pool and the event’s hammer trophy. The group stage and the early playoff rounds come first, and the last six teams play in front of fans at Suhai Music Hall, Av. das Nações Unidas, 22540, in Jurubatuba, from Friday, Feb. 12, to Sunday, Feb. 14.

São Paulo is two hours ahead of ET in February. On Feb. 12, gates open at 9:30 a.m. local time and the show starts at 10:15 a.m., or 8:15 a.m. ET. On Feb. 13 the show starts at 12:15 p.m., or 10:15 a.m. ET, and on Feb. 14 at 1:15 p.m., or 11:15 a.m. ET. Elite Package holders get in 30 minutes before general entrance each day.

Six Invitational 2027 tickets and prices

Tickets are sold through Eventim. The Early Bird phase ran from Sept. 22 to Oct. 2, and the general sale opened on Oct. 2 at 6 p.m. CEST and stays open while tickets last. General prices are R$45 for Friday and R$50 each for Saturday and Sunday. A three-day pass costs R$140 on the ground floor and R$110 on either balcony, and the three-day Elite Package costs R$700. In dollars, that’s about $9 to $10 for a single day, $22 to $28 for a three-day pass and $138 for the Elite Package, by our conversion at the mid-October exchange rate.

Eventim’s 15% fee is already in those prices. Every area is general admission with unreserved seating, there’s wheelchair access in every category, and the limit is eight tickets per person. The Elite Package adds early entry and faster queues, a merchandise bundle with an exclusive backpack and T-shirt, and an official credential and lanyard.

Nobody aged 15 or younger can enter. Fans aged 16 or 17 need a completed parental consent form, and everyone needs a valid photo ID with a date of birth.

How the Six Invitational 2027 works

Twenty teams start in a group stage of four groups of five, where every team plays the others once. The top four in each group move on and the last team in each group goes home. The 16 remaining teams then play a double elimination playoff, so every team gets a second chance after a first loss. All matches are best-of-three except the grand final, which is best-of-five.

Which teams have qualified?

Only FaZe Clan so far. The South America League team booked its spot by beating FURIA 3-1 in the Esports World Cup 2026 grand final on Aug. 15, and it has won the last two Six Invitationals, in 2025 and 2026, so it arrives in São Paulo chasing a three-peat.

The other 19 teams come from two routes. The 14 best-ranked teams in the Global Points Standings qualify, and five more come through regional Last Chance Qualifiers, whose dates Ubisoft hasn’t published. The last global event of the season is the Osaka Major on Nov. 7 to 15, 2026, after regional league play ended in mid-October. The season’s first Major, in Salt Lake City in May, went to DarkZero, which beat Shopify Rebellion 3-1 in the final.

FaZe’s Esports World Cup title came in Paris, and the next edition heads back to Riyadh, as our Esports World Cup 2027 page explains.

This page is updated as soon as Ubisoft publishes the Last Chance Qualifier dates, the prize breakdown and the full list of 20 teams.
