Teams

Eighteen teams played for nine spots in the Finals, in series decided on a home and away basis.

These eighteen teams 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,
• 1 loser of the 2020–21 Billie Jean King Cup Play-offs, based on rankings

The 9 winning teams of the qualifying round will play at the Finals and the 9 losing teams will play at the play-offs in November 2022.^[2]

Following the suspension of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) and Belarus Tennis Federation (BTF) from ITF membership and from participation in ITF international team competitions on 1 March 2022, Australia will replace RTF (who had qualified automatically as 2021 champions) in the 2022 Finals. The Qualifier tie between Australia and Slovakia scheduled for 15-16 April will therefore not be played. Both Slovakia and Belgium receiving a bye to the 2022 Finals.^[3][4]
