The men's team épée event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 2 August 2024 at the Grand Palais strip.[1] 24 fencers (eight teams of three) from eight nations competed.[2]

Japan were the defending champions, but lost to Hungary in the final.

Qualification

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]
