The water polo tournaments at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro took place from 6 to 20 August at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre in Barra da Tijuca. Twenty teams (twelve for men and eight for women) competed in the tournament.[1][2] Games that ended in ties in elimination rounds were decided by shootouts, as overtime has been abolished since 2013.
