[1][2] A total of 175 table tennis players, with an equal distribution between men and women, competed across five medal events (two per gender and a mixed) at these Games, the exact same amount as those in the previous editions.
[3] The host nation France reserved a direct spot each in the men's and women's teams, respectively, with one per gender competing in the singles tournament; and in the mixed doubles (previously inaugurated in Tokyo 2020).
Apart from the host nation, the remaining slot will be attributed to the highest-ranked eligible NOC based on the ITTF World Team Ranking list of March 2024.
The initial quarter of the total quota will be awarded to the semifinalists of the designated qualifying meet, scheduled for March or April 2024, while six continental qualification tournaments (Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, with the Americas divided between North and Latin for an ITTF competition) will offer the mixed doubles spot each to the top-ranked NOC from a respective continent.
Apart from the host nation, the five highest-ranked eligible pairs will obtain the remaining berths to complete the field based on the ITTF World Ranking list of May 7, 2024.
