Abstract We construct splitting varieties for triple Massey products. For a , b , c ∈ F ⁎ the triple Massey product 〈 a , b , c 〉 of the corresponding elements of H 1 ( F , μ 2 ) contains 0 if and only if there are x ∈ F ⁎ and y ∈ F [ a , c ] ⁎ such that b x 2 = N F [ a , c ] / F ( y ) , where N F [ a , c ] / F denotes the norm, and F is a field of characteristic different from 2. These varieties satisfy the Hasse principle by a result of D.B. Leep and A.R. Wadsworth. This shows that triple Massey products for global fields of characteristic different from 2 always contain 0.
