Qualifying round
Date: 15–16 April 2022
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,
- 1 loser of the 2020–21 Billie Jean King Cup Play-offs, based on rankings
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. Australia, the runner-up from 2020, was given the defending champion's right to advance. They were scheduled to play Slovakia. Both teams were given byes. Belgium, scheduled to play Belarus, was also given a bye.
