Esports Nations Cup 2026: Rainbow Six Siege Direct Invite Rosters Revealed
The road to Riyadh is officially underway. The Esports Nations Cup 2026 has revealed the 12 national Rainbow Six Siege rosters that have earned direct invitations to competition, which is set to take place from November 18–22, 2026, as part of the wider ENC event running November 2–29 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
How Direct Invites Were Determined
The 12 directly invited nations were selected through the Siege National Team Ranking, a points-based system that aggregates scores earned by the top five players on each submitted national roster. Points are drawn from official Rainbow Six competition results, including the Regional Leagues, Major tournaments, the Six Invitational, and EWC 2025 standings. The ranking had a cut-off date of May 17, 2026, meaning rosters had to be finalized and submitted ahead of that deadline.
