The new Rainbow Six North American League features teams from US and Canada

Ubisoft has announced details for the Rainbow Six North American League. The new league is scheduled to debut in late June 2020.

According to the publisher, the Rainbow Six North American League will feature two regional divisions. One division will be centered in the United States and the other in Canada. The US Division will feature eight pro team organizations competing in an offline league based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Meanwhile, Canada will join the global competition with its own Canada Division. The Canadian division consists of four teams competing online in lockstep with the US Division tournament schedule.
