Similar to the new system from North America, the European series will also be divided into two leagues: a Pro League and a Challenger League. The latter is a junior league from which two up-and-coming teams will advance to the Pro League.
The field of participants for the Rainbow Six: Siege Season XII EU League reads the European shooting elite. A total of eight teams from the Pro League and two organizations from the Challenger League make up the field of participants.
Participants from the Pro League XI
- Rogue
- Team Empire
- Forze

- G2 Esports
- Natus Vincere

How exactly the new league will be structured is not yet clear. However, the RB6S League will run throughout the year. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the starting signal for 2020 will not be given until June. In the future, though it's planned to take place in March and continue until February of the following year.
Concrete details on the Rainbow Six: Siege EU League will be unveiled by Ubisoft on May 20. We assume that the format will be based on that of the North American league and that the season of the European league will also extend over one year. The finals will take place on stage, while the annual Rainbow Six Invitational will mark the grand finale of the season.
Until the start, professional and amateur teams can compete in the brand new Rainbow Six: Siege Open Clash.
We're proud to reveal the European Open Clash - a hybrid tournament powered by @FACEIT, featuring both professional and amateur teams, with a 50 000EUR prize pool to be donated in full to @MSF_france. #R6EUClashMore info: https://t.co/XOuxIVxa34 pic.twitter.com/pTdq3rFetJ
