The men's team foil event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 4 August 2024 at the Grand Palais strip.[1] 24 fencers (eight teams of three) from eight nations competed.[2]
This will be the 24th appearance of the event. It was first held in 1904, but omitted in 1908 (when no foil medal events were held) and 1912 (when it was the only one of the six possible men's events not included). The men's team foil returned in 1920 and has been held at every Summer Olympics since 1920 except 2008 (during the time when team events were rotated off the schedule, with only two of the three weapons for each of the men's and women's categories).
France (Erwann Le Péchoux, Enzo Lefort, Maxime Pauty and Julien Mertine) were defending champions, since Le Pechoux has retired, Maximilien Chastanet took Le Pecheaux's spot, but they lost to Japan in the semifinals.

A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a team of three fencers in the men's team foil. These fencers also automatically qualified for the individual event.[2]
The tournament was a single-elimination tournament, with classification matches for all places. Each match featured the three fencers on each team competing in a round-robin, with nine three-minute bouts to five points; the winning team was the one that reaches 45 total points first or was leading after the end of the nine bouts.[3]
The competition was held over a single day.[4]
