Rugby sevens at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's team squads

For all participating teams for the men's rugby sevens competition at the 2020 Summer Olympics, each squad could have up to 12 players, however in July 2021, the International Olympic Committee allowed reserves to also compete due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This meant each team could have up to 12 players plus one alternate.[1]
