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.
Qualification
Format 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.
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: 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.
