The latest installment of the Siege Cup will follow a similar format and schedule to the previous event in July.

These are all the start times for the Siege Cup in August across all five regions:

  • NA Cup – 20:00 PM EDT / UTC-4
  • EU + MENA Cup – 20:00 PM CEST / UTC+2
  • LATAM Cup – 21:00 PM BRT / UTC-3
  • OCE Cup – 17:00 PM AEDT / UTC+10
  • APAC Cup – 20:00 PM CST / UTC+8

The tournament will take advantage of the Siege X updates, utilising its enhanced visuals, destructible ingredients and round-based bans in a tournament setting. It should also prove to be the most stable one yet, in light of Ubisoft releasing various patches to address Siege X’s most problematic bugs and glitches.

What is the Siege Cup?

Siege Cup is a limited-time game mode within Rainbow Six Siege, allowing fans to emulate the esports scene by competing in a tournament format. It is often regarded by fans as the most competitive form of play within the game outside of professional esports.

Players enter with squads of five, but the Siege Cup requires each player to be clearance level 50 or above and have a clean reputation/ sanctions history. Squads then compete against one another in a bracket format, with Competitive Coins up for grabs as they progress through the tournament.

The amount of Competitive Coins teams earn is based on tiers and final positions, which are all determined by performance. Introduced in operation Twin Shell, Competitive Coins are an unpurchasable currency that can be earned through Ranked or the Siege Cup playlist, and can be redeemed for Competitive Packs, offering unique cosmetics for a player’s efforts.

Players can register for the tournament through the in-game playlist. Ubisoft has a full list of FAQ’s for players curious about specific terms and conditions.
