The 2024 Summer Olympics men's 3x3 basketball tournament in Paris, France, began on 30 July and ended on 5 August 2024. All games were played at the Place de la Concorde. It was the second time the 3x3 basketball men's event was held at the Olympic Games.

## Competition format

The eight teams played a round robin. The teams placed first and second qualified for the semifinals. The teams three to six played a playoff. After that, a knockout system was used.
