Ubisoft has announced that the UK Ireland Nationals (UKIN) and Nordic Championship esports leagues will combine to create the Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Northern Premier League, a highly competitive revamped league that will gather the best players and teams from both UKIN and Nordic local scenes to compete in an exciting new competition and prize pool of €25,000.
The Northern Premier League will have 10 teams compete across nine weeks from 19th April to the end of August 2022. Each week there will be 2 days of broadcast, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. At the end of the Northern Premier League season, the top two teams will qualify for the European Challenger League, where teams from across Europe compete to be promoted to the European League, the highest level of competitive Rainbow Six Siege in the region. The middle four teams will retain their place in the Northern Premier League, while the seventh and eight positions enter relegation playoffs and the bottom two are automatically relegated to their respective local league.
At a grassroots level the existing UKIN 2nd Division will rebrand as UKIN and along with the Nordic Championship will act as feeder leagues to the Northern Premier League, more details will be shared about these leagues soon.
