Following the successful debut of breakdancing at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics, held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, it was added to the 2024 edition of the Summer Games alongside surfing, skateboarding, and sport climbing. The breakdancing events in Paris are slated for Saturday, August 9, and Sunday, August 10, 2024.

The sport, scheduled to be held at the Place de la Concorde, will display a fresh and young perspective at the Games. The Place de la Concorde will be refashioned into an open-air stadium for two days.
