Providing multi-request arbitration grant policies for time-sensitive arbitration decisions in processor-based devices is disclosed. In this regard, a processor-based device provides an arbitration circuit that is configured to select a request tracker entry of a plurality of request tracker entries of a request tracker circuit to apply a multi-request arbitration grant policy. The arbitration circuit determines a count N of a plurality of requests associated with the request tracker entry, and determines a count R of resource elements that are available of a plurality of resource elements of an arbitrated resource. The arbitration circuit determines whether the count R of resource elements that are available is equal to or greater than N, and if so, issues a single arbitration grant for the plurality of requests associated with the request tracker entry to the request tracker circuit.
