The badminton tournaments at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris ran from 27 July to 5 August at Porte de La Chapelle Arena. A total of 171 badminton players competed across five medal events (two per gender and a mixed) at these Games.
Qualification.
There were 172 badminton quota places, with an equal split between men and women, were available for Paris 2024; NOCs can enter a maximum of eight badminton players across five medal events (men's and women's singles; men's, women's, and mixed doubles). The host nation France reserves a spot each in the men's and women's singles to be officially awarded to its respective highest-ranked badminton player, while four places (two per gender) were entitled to the eligible NOCs interested to have badminton players compete for Paris 2024 under the Universality principle.
The remaining badminton players must undergo a direct qualifying process to secure a spot in their respective categories for Paris 2024 through the "Race to Paris" ranking list prepared by the Badminton World Federation. The qualification period commenced on 1 May 2023 and concluded on 28 April 2024, with the final eligibility list published two days after the deadline.
NOCs may enter a maximum of two players each in the men's and women's singles if they were ranked within the top sixteen of the "Race to Paris" ranking list, respectively; otherwise, they will send a single player until the roster of thirty-eight was completed. Similar protocols also apply to the players competing in the doubles tournament as the NOCs could enter a maximum of two pairs if they were ranked in the top eight with the rest entitled to a single pair until the quota of sixteen was reached. Additional rules ensure that each category must feature a badminton player representing each of the five continental zones (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) and assign additional quota places if some players qualify for multiple events.
