Totsuka and Yamada won their first Olympic medals.

All three 2022 medalists, Ayumu Hirano, the champion, Scotty James, the silver medalist, and Jan Scherrer, the bronze medalist, qualified for the event. Yūto Totsuka was leading the 2025–26 FIS Snowboard World Cup standings in men's halfpipe. The 2025 World champion was James.

Only four competitors got more than 90 points for their runs - James, Totsuka, Yamada, and Hirano. After the first run in the final, Yamada, Totsuka, and Hirano were standing in medal positions. James, who was running last, fell. In the second run, Hirano and Yamada did not improve, Totsuka showed the best run of the day, scoring 95 and passing Yamada, and James got 93.50 and finished provisionally second. In the last run, out of four main competitors, only Hirano improved from 90 to 91 points, but it was not sufficient for a medal.
