Rainbow Six Siege Operation Vital Signal Reveal—Date and Time, Explained

Ubisoft is preparing to unveil the next major update to Rainbow Six Siege in the form of the Season 4 overhaul, Operation Vital Signal. It’s set to usher in a new milestone, bringing about the final season of Rainbow Six Siege’s whopping eleventh year. Then, at the Six Invitational in February 2027, we find out what’s coming in Year 12.

For now, all eyes are on Operation Vital Signal. It’s introducing a major change for Doc, which has been firmly established by the Operator’s presence in Ubisoft’s teasers for the upcoming Operation. Below, I’ve outlined when Rainbow Six Siege’s Operation Vital Signal will be revealed, but it’s bad news for some fans.

When is Y11 S4 Being Revealed in Rainbow Six Siege?

The good news is, you really don’t have long to wait before you know everything about Operation Vital Signal. The bad news is, half the world will probably be asleep when the information drops. That’s because it’s aligned with the BLAST R6 Major Osaka broadcast, and Japan is so far ahead of the rest of the world.

Here are the times that the Rainbow Six Siege Operation Vital Signal broadcast will drop:

November 14th:

20:30 CST
21:30 ET
23:30 BRT

November 15th:

02:30 GMT
03:30 CET
04:30 SAST
05:30 AST
10:30 CST
11:30 JST
13:30 AEDT

The Season 4 reveal is set to be special, but you might miss it. Fear not, as we’ll have the coverage needed from the event, plus there will be VOD content to consume at the following links:

The BLAST R6 Major Osaka comes to a close this weekend, and before the grand final commences, Ubisoft will take to the stage, as the team usually does, to reveal what’s coming next for Rainbow Six Siege.

There’s still plenty of meat left in the tournament, though. Out of the 20 teams that showed up, only four have been ejected from the tournament: KINGZERO, All Gamers, Dplus, and TYLOO. The fan favorites are still well and truly in the running and ready to show up this weekend.
