The men's doubles badminton tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place from 27 July to 5 August 2024 at the Porte de La Chapelle Arena in Paris.[1] A total of 34 players from 15 nations were competing at the tournament. Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin, who represented Chinese Taipei, were the defending Olympic champions. They successfully retained their Olympic title, becoming the first men's doubles pair to do so together and the first consecutive Olympic badminton champions not to represent the People's Republic of China.[2]
