2022 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship qualification

The 2022 FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship features 24 teams. Three places are allocated to the hosts, the Netherlands and Poland, and the current titleholder, Serbia. Ten places were to be allocated to the top two teams from each of the 2021 Continental Championships that have not yet qualified as host or titleholder. Remaining places were to be allocated to the top eleven teams in the FIVB World Ranking that have not yet qualified through the first three criteria. Following the cancellation of the 2021 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship, AVC allocated two quota spots to China and Japan, the top two teams in the AVC Continental Ranking.

Qualification summary On 1 March 2022, FIVB declared Russia and Belarus not eligible for international and continental competitions due to the invasion of Ukraine. As a result, Russia was disqualified.
