The men's team sabre event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 31 July 2024 at the Grand Palais strip. ^[1] 24 fencers (eight teams of three) from eight nations competed. ^[2]

Background

Officially the 26th appearance of the event, it has been held at every Summer Olympics since 1908 except 2016 (during the time when team events were rotated off the schedule, with only two of the three weapons for each of the men's and women's categories).

The South Korean team won the gold medal and achieved its third consecutive victory since the 2012 competition. The Hungarian team won the silver medal and the French team won the bronze medal.

Qualification
