Competition format
The twelve teams in the tournament were divided into two groups of six, with each team initially playing round-robin games within their group. Following the completion of the round-robin stage, the top four teams from each group advanced to the quarter-finals. The two semi-final winners met for the gold medal match, while the semi-final losers played in the bronze medal match.
Each of the Continental Champions from five confederations received an automatic berth. France as the host nation qualified automatically. The other teams qualified through the 2024 Women's FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers.[5]
