The Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1 will last for more than a month, starting in mid-June, and will be closely followed by Stage 2. It is, as its name suggests, a part of the Europe MENA League series, which is a Closed League. In charge of organizing the tournament are, as customary for big Rainbow Six events, the game developer Ubisoft and eSports media production company based in Denmark, BLAST.

Where and When Will the Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1 Be Held?

The start of the Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1 is on June 16, while the end date is July 22. Ten teams will take part in the offline tournament (the exact location and venue are yet to be disclosed); eight will come from the two 2025 R6 Share Programs — the “Partner Programme” and “Affiliate Programme” — while the remaining two will come from the regional qualifier.

The prize pool for the Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1 is yet unknown, but besides money, which they’ll certainly earn, the teams that rank high at the end of the tournament will acquire a few more benefits: The top-5 sides will qualify for the Esports World Cup 2025, while the top-4 sides will qualify for the BLAST R6 Major 2025. Also, the five best-ranked teams will earn SI (Six Invitational Global Points), i.e., points for the Points Global Points Standings – Season 2025/2026. The invitations to the Six Invitational, the highest event of the R6 season, will be chosen via this point-based qualification method. Eleven teams from each of the season’s top tournaments, regardless of region, that have the most points after the year will be automatically invited to the Six Invitational. The winner of the Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1 will amass 300 SI Points, the second-placed 150, while third- to fifth-placed sides will get 50 points each.

Which Teams Will Take Part in the Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1?

Out of 10 teams, five will come from the Partner Programme and three from the Affiliate Programme. For the 2025 season, Ubisoft’s R6 Share Programme was modified to provide 20 eSports organizations in the Partner Programme with more opportunities to make more revenue by creating and selling in-game items. The purpose of the 23-team Affiliate Programme, on the other hand, is to increase support in the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific area. The remaining two secured their berths through the Europe MENA League 2025 – Challenger Series.

Features of the Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1

The Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1 will have two stages: Group Stage (June 16–July 9) and Playoffs (July 14–22).

A 10-team Group Stage will be a Single Round-Robin and best-of-1. The top six teams qualify for the Playoffs, also called the Stage Finals, which will be a Double-elimination bracket (the best-of-matches format is yet to be determined for this stage). As said, the top 4 advance to the Major.

Who’ll Win the Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1?

Without a doubt, Team BDS, the top team in the SI Points Standings, has the best chance of winning the Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1, given that the defending Six Invitational champions, FaZe Clan, won’t be there. On the list of favorites, Team Secret are just after BDS.

Since the Rainbow Six Esports Twitch channel is the official broadcaster for the game’s regional leagues and worldwide tournaments, you may probably catch feeds from it to watch the Europe MENA League 2025 – Stage 1.
