The archery events at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo took place in Yumenoshima Park.

[2] Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) is permitted to enter a maximum of six competitors, three per gender.

All other NOCs may earn a maximum of one quota place per gender for the individual events.

[3] Six places were reserved for Japan as the host nation, and a further four were to be decided by the Tripartite Commission.

The competition is expected to start with an initial ranking round involving all 64 archers of each gender.

In addition, the ranking round is scheduled to determine the 16 pairs that qualify for the mixed team event (for nations that have both men and women competing, the top men's score and the top women's score are combined) as well as seeding those 16 teams.

If at the end of five sets the score is tied at 5–5, a single arrow shoot-off is held and the closest to the center is declared the winner.
