The Pro League is a professional esports league for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, hosted and organized by ESL in association with Ubisoft Entertainment. The league was announced in January 2016 and began with Year 1 Season 1 on March 4, 2017. The league coincided with Rainbow Six Siege updates before Year 3, with three seasons per year; the fourth being taken up by the Six Invitational. Since Year 3, there are two 6-month seasons per year.
For Year 1, the Pro League featured divisions in both PC and Xbox One, the latter in association with Microsoft. For Year 2, the Xbox One division was cut in favor of expanding the PC Pro League, with the platform moving to the Major League. Challenger League was also introduced as the second best league on the competitive scene and the only path to qualify in Pro League.
