The format of the upcoming edition of the tournament will be similar to the 2019 edition. A round robin round will be followed by the knockouts. Each team will engage in a round-robin format, playing against the other nine teams once during the group stage. Subsequently, the top four teams will progress to the semifinals, where they will fiercely vie for a spot in the grand final.
