The Tokyo Olympics will feature a record 33 sports and 339 events across 42 competition venues. (This announcement covers 326 events, excluding 13 boxing events).

The schedule was determined through discussions with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Federations (IFs), based on the principle of "Athletes First," while considering criteria such as compliance with each IF's rules and regulations, the perspective of global viewers, the balance of popular sports, and gender balance.
