1. A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:
a body including a capacitance region in which a plurality of first internal electrodes and a plurality of second internal electrodes are alternately stacked and overlap with one another in a first direction with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween; and
first and second external electrodes disposed on the body and spaced apart from each other to be connected to the plurality of first internal electrodes and the plurality of second internal electrodes, respectively,
wherein the capacitance region includes one or more groups of first openings,
the first openings in each group overlap in the first direction and are continuously open in two or more internal electrodes of the plurality of first and second internal electrodes, and
a number of internal electrodes included in each group is less than a total number of the plurality of first internal electrodes and the plurality of second internal electrodes.
