Here's what has happened so far in the first day of action!

Six Invitational hammer

Welcome to the first day of the Six Invitational 2026! The fight for the hammer is kicking off today in Paris in what will be the first of five group stage playdays.

From today until Friday night, teams will fight to survive the group stage. The four best teams from each group will move to the Six Invitational 2026 Playoffs, which consist of a double-elimination bracket. All group stage matches are important, even to teams who may already be mathematically qualified for the next stage, as seeding plays a crucial role. Here's how the group stage seeding works:

  • First seeds: Start from Upper Bracket Quarterfinals
  • Second and third seeds: Start from Upper Bracket Round 1
  • Fourth seeds: Start from Lower Bracket Round 1

Logically, teams who finish at the bottom of their group will be eliminated.

The Six Invitational 2026 Group Stage Day 1 includes the following matches:
