The men's beach volleyball tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France, will take place at the Champ de Mars. The competition will be held from 27 July to 10 August 2024. Twenty four teams with 48 athletes around the world compete for the gold medal.
The 24 teams will be split into six pools of four teams. After a round-robin the top two teams and the two best third-placed teams will advance to the knockout stage. The other four third-placed teams will play in a "lucky loser" round to determine the last two qualifying teams. From there on, a knockout stage will be used.[1]
24 teams will qualify. The first 18 teams were announced on 11 June 2024.[3] Each NOC is limited to two teams.[4] The final places were revealed on 24 June 2024.[5]
The table below shows the ranking of third-placed teams in the preliminary round. The top two teams will advance to next round automatically. The other teams will compete for the two remaining spots. The third-ranked team will play the sixth-ranked team, and the fourth-ranked team will play the fifth-ranked team.
The round of sixteen pair up will be determined by drawing of lots. The six first ranked teams in preliminary pools are separated automatically. Then, the lucky loser playoffs winners will be drawn. The two best third ranked will be drawn next. And, the last drawing belongs to the second ranked teams. The teams in the same pool from preliminary round can not meet in round of 16.
