Quick answer: DarkZero and FaZe Clan play the BLAST R6 Major Osaka grand final tonight, Saturday, November 14, at 9:30 PM CT (10:30 PM ET, 7:30 PM PT). It is a best of five, streamed free on the official Rainbow Six Twitch and YouTube channels. DarkZero beat Virtus.pro 2-1 and FaZe swept Team Falcons 2-0 in the semifinals. Results are from the official R6 Esports bracket and SiegeGG, current as of 5:30 PM CT on November 14, 2026.
The last Rainbow Six Siege Major of 2026 is down to North America’s last team against FaZe Clan’s Brazilian lineup. DarkZero, the reigning Salt Lake City Major champions, are in their third straight Major grand final. FaZe Clan, who R6 Esports called “the greatest team of all time” after their semifinal, are back in a Major final too. Here is how both teams got there and when to tune in.
Semifinal results
- DarkZero 2-1 Virtus.pro: DarkZero won their own Clubhouse pick 7-0, Virtus.pro answered 8-7 in overtime on Kafe Dostoyevsky, and DarkZero closed out the deciding map, Villa, 7-3.
- FaZe Clan 2-0 Team Falcons: FaZe took Falcons’ Clubhouse pick 7-3, then won Bank 7-5. Fortress was never played.
The result knocks out Europe’s last team. Falcons went 3-0 in the Swiss Stage and dropped only five rounds in their quarterfinal, but FaZe never let them settle. FaZe’s Cyber has been the standout of the event, and R6 Esports noted he was plus 40 in kills to deaths heading into the final.
Grand final schedule in US time

Osaka is 15 hours ahead of Central time, so the official 12:30 PM JST Sunday start lands on Saturday night here. Our Osaka playoffs viewing guide covers every free stream and the grand final Twitch Drops, including the FMG-9 skin at five hours watched.
What is on the line
The champion takes $200,000 and 1,500 Six Invitational points from the $600,000 prize pool, and the runner-up gets $102,000 and 1,200 points. Those points count toward the Six Invitational 2027 in São Paulo. R6 Esports put it plainly after DarkZero advanced: “Could we see the first back-to-back-to-back Major Champion?”
The road ahead is set too. Between the two semifinals, R6 Esports announced the 2027 Major locations: Italy in May and the USA in November.
Our take
This is the final the bracket deserved. DarkZero have won ugly all week, surviving Team Liquid and an overtime map against Virtus.pro, while FaZe have looked like the cleanest team in Osaka since the quarterfinals. The 7-0 on Clubhouse shows DarkZero’s ceiling, but FaZe have dropped just eight rounds across their last two semifinal maps. Expect a long night. If you are coming off the League of Legends Worlds final this afternoon, this is the perfect esports nightcap.
Correction: Our November 13 semifinal preview said G2 Esports beat FaZe Clan in the quarterfinals. FaZe won that series 2-1, according to the official R6 Esports bracket. We regret the error.
