Qualification

Format

In a change of format compared to the previous nine editions of the Olympic Games, this tournament featured three groups with four teams each during the preliminary round (between 1972 Summer Olympics to 2020 Summer Olympics the teams were placed in two groups). At this round, the teams competed in a single round-robin format. The two highest ranked teams in each pool and the best two third-placed teams advanced to the knockout stage (quarterfinals).

The knockout stage followed the single-elimination format. The match-ups were determined by teams combined ranking system, #1 vs #8 (QF1), #2 vs #7 (QF2), #3 vs #6 (QF3), #4 vs #5 (QF4). The winners advanced to semifinals, QF1 vs QF4, QF3 vs QF2. The losers competed for bronze medals and the winners competed for gold medals.

Draw The twelve qualified teams were seeded according to their position in the FIVB World Ranking as of 17 June 2024. As the host team, France was seeded first and placed in the top position of Pool A. The two top ranked teams seeded second and third were placed at the top of Pools B and C respectively. The remaining nine teams were distributed across three bowls of three teams each based on their position in the World Ranking and drawn for their seed line by line applying the serpentine system. The draw took place on 19 June 2024. Rankings are shown in brackets except the hosts who ranked 19th.
