Teams

The current list of teams confirmed to be participating in the Sevens Championship Series. Russia were initially scheduled to participate, but following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the World Rugby Executive Council suspended the Rugby Union of Russia.

France, who were originally to be relegated to the 2022 Trophy tournament as punishment for not fielding a team in the previous year's Championship tournament, accepted an invitation to take Russia's place.

Belgium and the Czech Republic were promoted from the 2021 Rugby Europe Sevens Trophy, as they were the two highest-ranked teams from the two-legged series.
