This article details the qualifying phase for shooting at the 2020 Summer Olympics (which was postponed to at least 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
Four quota places (top two teams per NOC) will be awarded to the shooters competing in each of the mixed team events (rifle, pistol, and trap), while the highest-ranked shooter, who has not qualified yet or whose NOC does not have a berth in any of the twelve individual events, will obtain a direct Olympic quota place through the World Rankings.
The remaining twenty-four quota places are available to the eligible NOCs under the Tripartite Commission Invitation, with two in each of the individual event, to attain a maximum number of 360.
Quota places are allocated only to the National Olympic Committees, with the exception of the ISSF world rankings, which are awarded directly to the individual shooters and may not be changed by the NOC.
The NOC may assign a different shooter in each individual or mixed team event, provided that he or she has attained a minimum qualification score (MQS).
