<!--
A [[National Olympic Committee]] (NOC) could enter up to 3 qualified fencers in the men's sabre. Nations were limited to three fencers each from 1928 to 2004. However, the 2008 Games introduced a rotation of men's team fencing events with one weapon left off each Games; the individual event without a corresponding team event had the number of fencers per nation reduced to two. Men's sabre was the third event this applied to, so each nation could enter a maximum of two fencers in the event in 2016. The 2020 Games eliminated this rotation and all weapons had team events.<ref name=Qualifying/>

There are 34 dedicated quota spots for men's sabre. The first 24 spots go to the 3 members of each of the 8 qualified teams in the team sabre event. Next, 6 more men are selected from the world rankings based on continents: 2 from Europe, 1 from the Americas, 2 from Asia/Oceania, and 1 from Africa. Finally, 4 spots are allocated by continental qualifying events: 1 from Europe, 1 from the Americas, 1 from Asia/Oceania, and 1 from Africa. Each nation can earn only one spot through rankings or events.<ref name=Qualifying/>

Additionally, there are 8 host/invitational spots that can be spread throughout the various fencing events.<ref name=Qualifying/> Japan used 2 host places to fill its men's sabre team (adding to the 1 place earned through general qualification).

The [[COVID-19 pandemic]] delayed many of the events for qualifying for fencing, moving the close of the rankings period back to April 5, 2021 rather than the original April 4, 2020.<ref name=Qualifying/><ref name=Academy>[https://academyoffencingmasters.com/blog/olympic-fencing-qualification-updates-may-2020/ Academy of Fencing Masters]</ref>-->

==Competition format==
The 1996 tournament had vastly simplified the competition format into a single-elimination bracket, with a bronze medal match. The 2024 tournament continued to use that format. Fencing is done to 15 touches or to the completion of three three-minute rounds if neither fencer reaches 15 touches by then. At the end of time, the higher-scoring fencer is the winner; a tie results in an additional one-minute sudden-death time period. This sudden-death period is further modified by the selection of a draw-winner beforehand; if neither fencer scores a touch during the minute, the predetermined draw-winner wins the bout. Standard [[épée (fencing)|épée]] rules regarding target area, striking, and priority are used.

==Schedule==
The competition was held over a single day, Saturday, 27 July. Women's épée bouts alternate with the [[Fencing at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's sabre|men's sabre event]] bouts.<ref name="schedule2">"[https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/schedule/fencing?day=27-july Olympic Schedule - Fencing]", ''[[Olympics.com]]''.

Competition format

The 1996 tournament had vastly simplified the competition format into a single-elimination bracket, with a bronze medal match. The 2024 tournament continued to use that format. Fencing is done to 15 touches or to the completion of three three-minute rounds if neither fencer reaches 15 touches by then. At the end of time, the higher-scoring fencer is the winner; a tie results in an additional one-minute sudden-death time period. This sudden-death period is further modified by the selection of a draw-winner beforehand; if neither fencer scores a touch during the minute, the predetermined draw-winner wins the bout. Standard épée rules regarding target area, striking, and priority are used.
