Elimination tag team matches are the same as a normal tag team match except that a wrestler who suffers a loss is eliminated from participation. The match continues until all members of one team are eliminated.

Lucha Libre uses the term Torneo Cibernetico (cybernetic tournament) for multi-man elimination matches. Sometimes in these matches, there can be only one winner so even after the other team has been eliminated, former team mates face each other in an elimination match.

One further variation is where teams of 4 or more are comprised of tag teams, and once a member of a team is eliminated their partner is also eliminated. a 20-man tag of this nature was held at the 1988 WWF Survivor Series.
