The men's beach volleyball tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France, took place at Eiffel Tower Stadium on the Champ de Mars. The competition was held from 27 July to 10 August 2024. Twenty four teams consisting of 48 athletes from 18 NOC's competed.
The 24 teams were split into six pools of four teams. After a round-robin the top two teams and the two best third-placed teams advanced to the knockout stage. The other four third-placed teams played in a "lucky loser" round to determine the last two qualifying teams. From there on, a knockout stage was used.[1]
A win was awarded two match points, while a loss was awarded one match point. In the case of a tie in match points, the following tiebreaker criteria was used:[2]
Between two teams:
Higher rally points ratio in all matches.
If still tied, winner of head-to-head match.
Between three teams:
Higher rally points ratio in matches between tied teams.
If still tied, higher rally points ratio in all matches.
If still tied, the higher tournament seeding established at the General Technical Meeting.
24 teams qualified. The first 18 teams were announced on 11 June 2024.[4] Each NOC is limited to two teams.[5] The final places were revealed on 24 June 2024.[6]
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.
