Phase 3, also called the finals, sees the remaining teams in a single elimination bracket. Phase 2, also known as playoffs, consists of the eight qualified phase 1 teams and eight teams finishing at the top of selected regional leagues, playing a Swiss bracket to send the top eight forward. Phase 1, also known as play-ins, consists of sixteen teams from regional leagues and Last Chance Qualifiers around the globe being split into GSL double-elimination groups of 4, with the top 2 from each group advancing. The third and current edition is organised by Ubisoft and BLAST, where twenty-four teams play two events in May and November each, with three stages of play. Every single match is in Bo3 outside of the Grand Final, which is played in Bo5.
Once the eight remaining teams are known, they are placed in a single elimination bracket. During the groups stage, a Bo1 double round robin format is used. Sixteen teams qualify by making top four in their respective regional league. All teams are separated in four groups of four. The second edition of the Six Major has sixteen teams playing an event every three months, from May to August to November, organized by Ubisoft FACIT and occasionally ESL, with the exception of May 2021 when the Six Invitational replaced the May Major due to Covid-19 delays. During the groups stage, the standard GSL format is used (1st seed vs 4th seed, 2nd seed vs 3rd seed, winners vs losers).
One team qualifies by winning the previous Six Invitational. Four teams qualify by placing first in their region's respective Major Qualifier. Eight of the teams qualify by placing top two in their region's Pro League. The first edition of the Six Major had sixteen teams playing an annual event organized by ESL in conjunction with Ubisoft. Located in various venues around the world, the tournament gathers the best teams from Regional Leagues and serves as an interregional final for each Regional League stage. The Six Major is a professional Rainbow Six Siege tournament hosted by Ubisoft, the game's developer and publisher.
