The 2022 FIFA Rimet Cup qualification is the qualifying process which will decide the final 16 teams to qualify for Group Stage of the '''[[User:Rylesbourne/sandbox/2022 FIFA Rimet Cup|2022 FIFA Rimet Cup]]'''.

31 of the 32 teams that will participate in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, joining hosts Qatar, who received an automatic spot.

Parallel tournaments are organised by FIFA's six confederations. Qualification started on 6 June 2019, when the first match played was between Mongolia and Brunei and the first goal was scored by Mongolian player Norjmoogiin Tsedenbal, and is set to end in June 2022. In contrast to previous editions, there was no general preliminary draw, with confederations carrying out separate draws due to their differing timelines.[1] The qualification process has suffered numerous postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

== AFC ==
{{see|2022 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC)}}
The six teams from the Third Round of AFC qualification competed for two additional spots. The fourth place finishers in each group earned a bye to the qualification finals, and were seeded. The fifth and sixth place finishers were unseeded.

Twelve teams competed for six group stage spots. The worst semifinal losers of the [[2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Second Round|UEFA Second Round]] played the third place teams from the UEFA First Round that did not already qualify for the second round. The teams that advanced to the Second Round were automatically seeded, while the rest were seeded by their March 2022 FIFA World Rankings. Hungary also participated as the top fourth place team after Russia was suspended by FIFA.
