Officially, that device is not getting Oreo. If that was going to happen it would have by now. The only way to "sideload" it is advanced and puts you at risk of rendering the device unusable.

If we have any info on our site regarding this, it will be in this forum section - https://forums.androidcentral.com/nexus-6-rooting-roms-hacks/

If you plan to move forward with this, BACK UP YOUR DATA and follow every single step EXACTLY.

Nexus phones are the easiest phones to root and upgrade and nearly impossible to brick permanently.

But the latest firmware released for the N6 was Nougat (7.1.1) in October 2017. So no, no Oreo or Pie, unless you want to learn how to modify AOSP by yourself. Then you'll have updates until they just get too big for the phone (maybe in 5-10 years).
