All nations were able to enter whoever they wish (up to five men and five women overall) in the singles and doubles events.

In addition, sixteen nations were also entitled to contest the mixed team event; subject to at least four CGF regions being represented and a minimum entry of two men / two women per team, they qualify as follows:

• The host nation.
• The top 14 nations in the BWF World Ranking as of 1 February 2022, excluding the host nation. Their highest-ranked players in each of the five individual rankings are added together to determine the combined ranking.
• One nation not already qualified receives a CGF/BWF Bipartite Invitation.
