We construct the most general gaugings of the maximal D = 6 supergravity. The theory is (2, 2) supersymmetric, and possesses an on-shell SO(5, 5) duality symmetry which plays a key role in determining its couplings. The field content includes 16 vector fields that carry a chiral spinor representation of the duality group. We utilize the embedding tensor method which determines the appropriate combinations of these vectors that participate in gauging of a suitable subgroup of SO(5, 5). The construction also introduces the magnetic duals of the 5 two-form potentials and 16 vector fields.
