Abstract: The sexaquark, a hypothetical stable and neutral QCD bound state made of six quarks, has been recently proposed as a dark matter candidate. Here, I will argue sexaquarks as a large component of the dark matter is incompatible with current observational data. To draw these conclusions, I will connect several topics, including the abundance obtained in the early Universe, scattering and annihilation constraints.
