Competition formula
The competition formula for beach volleyball at the Paris
Games will be the same as that of Tokyo 2020, with the 24 teams in each
gender being split into six pools. The first round of the tournament
will be completed after teams face each of their three pool opponents
once.
At the end of pool play, the six pool winners, the six
pool runners-up and the two best-ranked third-placed teams will qualify
directly to the Round of 16, occupying 14 of the 16 spots available.
The remaining four third-placed teams will play a “lucky
loser” round, composed of two matches, from where the last two teams to
play in the Round of 16 will emerge. Starting at this round and
continuing through the quarterfinals, semifinals and medal matches, the
men's and women's tournaments will progress in a single-elimination
format.
