Ubisoft published the Competition Hub on July 21, 2025 and described the initial release as focused on Tier‑2 competitions while noting Tier‑3 details are "coming soon." (ubisoft.com) The hub lets players register for upcoming events and watch event broadcasts and includes regional prize‑pool breakdowns for the season. (ubisoft.com) An "Organize tournament" button routes users to a Tournament License page where organizers can apply for a Ubisoft license and request promotion of their events on r6esports. (bo3.gg) The Competition Hub provides dedicated regional pages for Europe & MENA, North America, South America, APAC Asia, APAC Oceania and APAC North, all reachable from the r6esports site. (ubisoft.com) Ubisoft has linked the hub to a wider 2026 esports overhaul that created a global Challenger Circuit uniting Tier‑2 tournaments and making SI Points the main route to Six Invitational qualification. (esportsinsider.com) The 2026 calendar tied to that overhaul includes a Major in Salt Lake City from May 8–17, 2026 and an Esports World Cup integrated into the official circuit from August 11–14, 2026.
