The group stage matches will take place from 28 June to 4 July with the 10 teams being split into two groups of five. The matches played during the group stage will be a single round-robin, best-of-three format. Only the top three teams from each group will move on to the playoff round, which means only six will be in the final round.
However, the winner of each group will advance to the semifinals whilst the second-and-third-placed teams will head to the quarterfinals. The playoff round will take place from 7 - 9 July in a single-elimination bracket with each series being a best-of-three. Only the grand finals will be a best-of-five to determine the VCT Ascension Pacific 2023 winner.
As for the schedule of the tournament, the group stage portion will start at 2.00 pm GMT+8 while the playoffs will start at 5.00 pm GMT+8. Be sure to catch all the action through a variety of channels that will be hosting the tournament in different dialects.
