The SAL 2026 Kickoff in South America serves as the regional playoff to qualify for the Salt Lake City Major in May 2026, with four qualification spots at stake.

Top matches feature FaZe, FURIA, Fluxo W7M, and MIBR’s Fluxo; all are seeded in the same bracket, while NiP and Team Liquid are strong contenders in the upper brackets.

Final standings underscore the race to the Salt Lake City Major, with the upper and lower semifinals playing pivotal roles in securing qualification.

Roster changes illustrate regional volatility, including FURIA’s four-player exit to Team Liquid, Fluxo W7M adding Raul “kondz” Barros, and Ninjas in Pyjamas signing Guilherme “Bassetto” Bassetto.

The Rainbow Six Siege X Major 2026 in Salt Lake City runs May 7–17, featuring twenty teams with four representatives from each major region, including the newly added China region.
