Administration

UK Sport has set the team a target of winning between 50 and 70 medals in Paris.

Archery
Penny Healey gained a quota for Great Britain by winning the gold medal in the women's individual recurve at the 2023 European Games in Kraków, Poland.

Artistic swimming
Great Britain qualified two athletes to the artistic swimming duet competition as a result of finishing top of the eligible teams on combined scores from the Duet Technical and Duet Free events at the 2024 World Championships in Doha. Kate Shortman and Isabelle Thorpe were named as the duo for the Olympics on 14 May 2024.

Athletics
British track and field athletes achieved the entry standards for Paris 2024, either by passing the direct qualifying mark (or time for track and road races) or by world ranking, in the following events (a maximum of 3 athletes each): The selection policy of UK Athletics is that to accept a world ranking invite, the athlete must meet either the qualification standard itself, or in certain cases a slightly lower UK Athletics standard. In addition, all individual medalists from the 2023 World Athletics Championships will be guaranteed selection if they have the required standard as the selector's discretionary picks. As a result, not all eligible athletes will necessarily be selected to travel to Paris. Great Britain won quotas in all five relays at the 2024 World Athletics Relays in May 2024. The team was announced on 5 July 2024.

Badminton
Great Britain entered three badminton players into the Olympic tournament based on the BWF Race to Paris Rankings.

Boxing
Great Britain qualified six boxers into the Olympic tournament. Tokyo 2020 Olympian Charley Davison (women's bantamweight), along with rookies Delicious Orie (men's super heavyweight) and Rosie Eccles (women's welterweight), secured the spots in their respective weight divisions, either by advancing to the semifinal match or finishing in the top two, at the 2023 European Games in Nowy Targ, Poland. A fourth and fifth boxer, Patrick Brown, and Chantelle Reid won a quota at men's heavyweight and women's middleweight respectively at the 2024 World Olympic Qualification Tournament 1 in Busto Arsizio, Italy. They were joined by Lewis Richardson at men's light-middleweight from the 2024 World Olympic Qualification Tournament 2.

A further boxer fighting from the GB Boxing stable, and sparring partner of Reid, Cameroonian-born Cindy Ngamba, also qualified at women's middleweight, but was representing the Olympic Refugee Team as she currently does not have a British passport, although she has lived in the United Kingdom since she was 10, has been a British champion on several occasions and trains as part of the GB squad. Ngamba is actively seeking British citizenship but because Reid has already qualified in the same weight division she will represent the Refugee Olympic Team at the Games regardless of whether she is granted a UK passport before then, thus becoming the first boxer from the Refugee team.

Slalom
Great Britain initially qualified a boat in the men's C-1 class at the 2023 European Games in Kraków, Poland. However, this was superseded when they secured a quota in this class at the 2023 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships at Lee Valley in Greater London. They also qualified boats in the men's K-1 and the women's C-1 and K-1 classes at this event. All slalom canoeists qualified can also take part in the new Olympic extreme kayak/kayak cross discipline.

Team GB announced their squad for Paris on 15 November 2023. The experienced team includes former Olympic men's K-1 champion and current world champion in both this and the KX-1 discipline Joe Clarke, as well as Tokyo women's C-1 silver medallist and reigning world champion Mallory Franklin and current women's KX-1 world champion Kimberley Woods. Although C1 canoeist Adam Burgess is eligible to compete in the KX-1 kayak cross event as a C1 slalom entrant, his participation in the second event has not been confirmed.
