Starting November 24th, these teams will battle across four stages of competition to secure the second Valve title of the year. The first three stages will each feature a 16-team Swiss bracket, with eight teams advancing to the next stage.

The final eight teams will compete in a single-elimination Playoffs to crown the Budapest Major 2025 Champion at the "best Major arena in the history of Counter-Strike."
