When Will The Copenhagen 2024 Stickers Be Released?
Tournament stickers have always been a popular choice of purchase for CS2 players, both as investments and as a way to decorate their weapon skins while simultaneously showing support for their favorite teams. In the past, stickers from most Major CS2 tournaments have proven to be valuable assets, with their prices often increasing over time to absurd extents. The Katowice 2014 stickers are perhaps the best examples of CS2 stickers being amazing investments, as they’re renowned as some of the priciest items to hit the Steam Market to this date.
However, not all stickers turn out to be good investments, as some may even decrease in value over time due to the market supply exceeding demand. While this situation is extremely rare and almost unheard of, as CS2 sticker investment becomes popular among the masses, buyers may find it difficult to make a profit off the stickers without holding them for a significant time period.
As the CS2 community eagerly looks forward to the upcoming Copenhagen 2024 Major, many fans are growing increasingly curious about the release date of the stickers for this highly anticipated tournament.
In this article, we’re gonna take a look at the release date for the Copenhagen 2024 CS2 stickers. Although Valve has not provided any official information regarding the release date of these stickers at the time of writing, we have enough information to make an educated guess based on the release patterns of previous Majors.

Upon reviewing the table, we can come to the conclusion that, on average, sticker releases occur on average roughly 10 days before the commencement of major tournaments. Furthermore, the median difference between sticker capsule release and the start of tournaments stands at 8 days. Notably, tournament sticker capsules have consistently been released exclusively on weekdays, with no instances of weekend releases. On top of that, the stickers from the last two Majors, namely the Paris 2023 Major and Rio 2022 Major were both released on Fridays.
Expected Copenhagen 2024 Stickers Release Date
So what’s the takeaway here? Taking a glance at the schedule of the Copenhagen 2024 Major, we can see that the tournament kicks off on March 17, 2024. Now if the previous release patterns are anything to go by, fans can expect the Copenhagen 2024 stickers to land at any point between March 6 to March 8, with the most probable date being March 8, 2024, which falls on a Friday.
Do note that everything you read in this article is merely speculation, and no official word has been given by Valve regarding the stickers’ release dates as of yet, so take it with a grain of salt.
After the stickers are released, it might not be the best idea to buy them from the Steam Store right away. Typically, tournament stickers go on sale approximately a month after the tournaments conclude. Therefore, fans might want to consider waiting for the sticker sale to commence before purchasing the stickers that they want to get all the capsules at a hefty 75% discount.
Lastly, it’s important to remember that investments always carry a certain level of risk. Therefore, if you intend to make substantial investments in Copenhagen 2024 stickers, it is crucial to conduct thorough research beforehand.
