Publisher Ubisoft has selected the Suhai Music Hall in São Paulo, Brazil, as the venue for the Six Invitational 2027 arena finals, scheduled to take place from 12 to 14 February 2027.

Ticketing partner Eventim has opened Early Bird sales ahead of general availability on 2 October. Daily admission starts at $40 BRL (~$7.8 USD), while three-day passes range from $100 BRL (~$19.5) for balcony seating to $125 BRL (~$24.4) for ground-floor access. A premium “Elite Package” priced at $600 BRL (~$117,28) offers three-day entry, dedicated seating tiers, early venue access, and an exclusive merchandise bundle produced in partnership with Nerd ao Cubo. The tournament adopts an 18+ age rating under Brazilian Ministry of Justice guidelines, with limited parental accompaniment provisions for 16- and 17-year-olds, reflecting tighter regulatory compliance for live esports broadcasts in the region.
The event will feature a $3m (~£2.25m) prize pool and a 20-team field competing for the iconic sledgehammer trophy. Current back-to-back world champions FaZe Clan have secured the first qualified spot following their victory at the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026. The remaining 19 slots will be determined through the Global Points Standings (14 teams) and regional last-chance qualifiers (5 teams).
The return to São Paulo reinforces Brazil’s status as the commercial and competitive hub for tactical shooter esports. Brazilian rosters have claimed four world titles to date, including three consecutive victories: Ninjas in Pyjamas (2021), W7M Esports (2024), and FaZe Clan (2025 and 2026), all playing in the local Brazilian league.
“The Brazilian audience loves Rainbow Six Siege, without a doubt,” said Leandro “Montoya” Estevam, Director of Esports for Latin America at Ubisoft. “This is evident both in the number of trophies raised by local teams and the impressive support from fans for their favourite home-grown players and rosters. The success of the Six Invitational in 2024 only reinforced this, which led to our country hosting another edition—and the intention is for this to continue in the future.”
