The reigning Olympic champion was Tom Pidcock of Great Britain.

Competition format
The competition was a mass-start, eight-lap race. There was only one round of competition. The mountain bike course was 4.4 kilometres (2.7 mi) long, with sudden changes in elevation, narrow dirt trails, and rocky sections.
