Table tennis at the 2022 Commonwealth Games – Qualification

Last updated

Including the parasport events, there was a nominal total of 192 quota places available for table tennis at the 2022 Commonwealth Games; 96 each for men and women. [1] [2]

Such was the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that key competitions (namely Regional Qualifiers and the 2021 Commonwealth Championships) did not take place. As a result, Commonwealth Sport (CGF) and the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) decided that where Olympic-style table tennis was concerned, qualification for the Commonwealth Games should primarily be determined by the most recent period in which the pandemic was not a factor in qualifying opportunities, i.e. 2019.
