The men's 5x5 basketball tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics was the 21st edition of the event for men at the Summer Olympic Games. It was held from 27 July to 10 August 2024. Preliminary games occurred at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille, with the final phase staged at the Accor Arena (referred to as the Bercy Arena due to IOC rules disallowing Olympic host venues to be named after corporate sponsors) in Paris.[1] [2]
The United States went unbeaten to win a seventeenth overall and fifth consecutive gold medal, after defeating France 98–87 in a rematch of the previous final.[3] Serbia won the bronze with a 93–83 win over Germany, winning its second medal and first bronze in men's basketball as an independent nation.[4]
The twelve teams were split into three groups of four teams, and a single round-robin was held within each group. The first- and second-placed teams of each group advanced to the quarterfinals, as well as the two best third-placed teams. After the preliminary round, the teams were grouped according to their results, and a draw paired teams between the groups for the quarterfinals. For the draw, the teams were seeded in four pots, with the top two-ranked teams (Pot D), 3rd–4th ranked teams (Pot E), 5–6th ranked teams (Pot F) and 7–8th ranked teams (Pot G). Teams from Pot D faced a team from Pot G and teams from Pot E a team from Pot F. Teams from the same group could not face each other again. If both teams from Pot D qualified for the semifinals, they could not play against each other.[5]
The schedule of the tournament was as follows.[6]

See main article: Basketball at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's team rosters. Each roster consisted of 12 players.
The draw was held on 19 March 2024.[7] [8]
The 12 teams were divided into four pots of three teams based on their FIBA World Ranking. The three groups were formed by drawing one team from each pot. Two teams from the same continent could not be placed into the same group, with the exception of European teams, where each group had to contain a minimum of two and a maximum of three European teams.
For broadcast purposes, defending champions the United States were allocated to Group C, while hosts France could only be drawn into Group A or B.
The seeding was announced on 15 March 2024. As the four winners of the 2024 FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments (OQTs) were yet to be decided at the time of the draw, they were assigned placeholders. Each of the four placeholders were seeded based on the highest-ranked team in each tournament.[9]
The following 30 referees were selected for the tournament.[10]
