All 20 teams come together for the group stage, falling into batches of five teams apiece. At this stage, all matches played are best-of-three.
This stage runs from February 2 to February 6 and will be behind closed doors, exclusively available to watch online.
The first-placed team from each group will qualify for round two of the playoffs, while the second- and third-placed teams will advance to round one. The fourth-placed teams go into the lower bracket of the playoffs, while the bottom team in each group is eliminated from the tournament.
Playoffs – Round One
The first round of the playoffs will be a behind-closed-doors event, held between February 8 and February 10.
Playoffs – Round Two
The second round of the playoffs will run from February 13 to February 15 and will be played in front of a live audience in the Adidas Arena.
