Is VMware ESXi with vSphere 6.0 supported?
The technical documentation for the 6.1 virtual appliances states: "VMware ESXi with vSphere 5.0, 5.1, and 5.5 for VM-Series running PAN-OS 6.1."
And the 7.0 documentation states: "VMware ESXi with vSphere 5.1 or 5.5 for VM-Series running PAN-OS 7.0."
I've not found any information regarding ESXi 6.0 in any of the community or the technical documentation sections of PA Support.

Anecdotally, I can say that a VM-300 works in vSphere 6.0 based on my limited testing, but this is not an official claim of support. Steven is correct that you should work with your local Palo Alto Networks systems engineer to discuss timeframes for official support.

VMware just released ESXi 6 in May. It generally takes PA a few months to verify all is well and add official support for the new versions.
If you need official answers and dates, you will need to contact your Palo Alto sales engineer. Palo Alto never makes any roadmap or future release statements in any public forum.

VM-100 confirmed to be working too.
