The tournament will take place in three sections. The first will be the Group Stage, which will be conducted between February 17-21, 2024. Here, all 11 teams will be randomly seeded into three groups, and they will compete in their respective double-elimination brackets to secure a spot in the Play-ins or the Playoffs. Paper Rex, the VCT Pacific League 2023 winner, automatically got a bye for their first match.

The Play-ins will follow a single round-robin format. The best team from here, alongside the three group stage winners, will face each other in a single-elimination Playoffs bracket.

The winner and the runner-up will represent the Pacific region at Masters Madrid, the first global VCT event of 2024.
