Eighteen teams were scheduled to play for nine spots for the Finals, in a series decided on a home and away basis.[1]
These eighteen teams originally were:
- 10 teams ranked 3rd-12th in the 2020–21 Billie Jean King Cup Finals,
- 7 winners of the 2020–21 Billie Jean King Cup play-offs,

The 9 losing teams from the qualifying round play the play-offs, against the 9 nations that are promoted from the Regional Group I from Americas, Europe/Africa and Asia/Oceania, to see who will contend the 2023 Qualifiers and who stays in the Regional Group I in 2023.
However, prior to the qualifying round both Russia and Belarus were suspended from taking part in international events by the ITF.
