Breaking will make its debut at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The breakdancing competitions will be held at La Concorde.

Format
The competition has 32 participants, 16 women and 16 men, and consists of one-on-one face-to-face battles. Athletes must adapt their moves and improvise to the beats of DJ to convince the judges to give them points. Whoever gets the most points out of the two athletes will advance to the next round.

Each NOC has the possibility to send two athletes per discipline, so there are four in total. Each NOC can only qualify with a maximum of one athlete per gender through the 2023 World Championships or through the continental qualifying competitions. It can send a second athlete, but must do so through the Olympic Qualifiers.

Rules
All athletes must respect and not violate the rules of the Olympic Games and the rules of the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF), and must have been born on or before December 31, 2008.

Calendar
The competitions will be held on August 9 and 10. Each individual tournament will be held on one day.

Women
The 16 athletes qualify: The most normal way to qualify is through the qualifying tournaments. 13 of the 16 athletes who will compete have qualified via the qualifying tournaments. France has the exceptional position of qualifying without qualifying tournaments in many sports, including breakdancing. Because France is hosting the 2024 Olympics, one spot is reserved for the hosts. This means there are 14 spots in total. The last two spots are open spots that any individual NOC can apply for through the application process. These spots are designed to give each country a chance to compete in the breakdancing tournament. This way of getting the 16 athletes applies to both the B-Boys and B-Girls.
 * 1) via the qualification tournaments
 * 2) via the host country
 * 3) via a universility place.
