The BLAST R6 Major Japan will be the first Rainbow Six Siege international competition to be held in APAC since the Pro League Season 10 Finals, which took place in Tokoname, Japan. It will be the second BLAST R6 Major of the BLAST R6 2026-27 esports season, as the first one will be the BLAST R6 Major Salt Lake City.
It's worth noting that the BLAST R6 Major Japan isn't the competition's final name. The tournament will be renamed once Ubisoft announce the competition's official city. Therefore, if the event were to be held in Tokyo, the competition would be renamed from BLAST R6 Major Japan to BLAST R6 Major Tokyo.
Here's everything we know so far about the BLAST R6 Major Japan:
Dates and location
The BLAST R6 Major Japan will be played in TBA, Japan, between November 6 and November 15, 2026. As mentioned earlier, it will be APAC's first international Rainbow Six Siege competition since November 2019. It's a competition that all APAC fans had been awaiting for years, and, fortunately for them, it's finally happening.
We will update this article as soon as the official location and venue are announced.
