The PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen is divided into three stages: opening stage (March 17-20), elimination stage (March 21-24), and playoffs (March 28-31).

Sixteen teams compete in a Swiss System format in the opening stage. Advancement and elimination matches are best-of-three, while all other matches are best-of-one.
