Rainbow Six Siege and Trackmania will both be part of the Esports World Cup 2026 lineup in Paris, with Ubisoft confirming competition dates, prize pools and a planned Siege content reveal during the event.
According to Ubisoft's announcement, this year's Esports World Cup is a seven-week international esports event taking place in Paris for the first time. Ubisoft's two represented games cover very different competitive lanes: Siege's tactical shooter circuit and Trackmania's long-running precision racing scene.
Rainbow Six Siege's EWC 2026 competition runs from August 4 to August 15, with teams playing for a $2,000,000 prize pool. Team Secret returns as defending EWC champion, facing teams from Stage 1 of the regional leagues in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and MENA.
The Siege portion will also carry news beyond the tournament itself. Ubisoft says the Rainbow Six Siege team will reveal content from Year 11 Season 3 during EWC 2026. The publisher says that season has been shaped by player feedback and is designed to give the community more reasons to play, improve and engage with competitive play at its own pace. That follows a busy run of Siege updates, including Year 11 Season 2 balance changes earlier this cycle.
Trackmania's competition follows from August 19 to August 22, with a $500,000 prize pool. Ubisoft named Bren, eLconn21, Carl Jr., Mudda and Epos among the qualified players, alongside 27 more competitors.
Tickets for the playoff stages are already on sale through the Esports World Cup site. Rainbow Six Siege playoffs are listed for August 12 to August 15, while Trackmania playoffs are set for August 19 to August 22.
