Qualifying

Change to format

Both men's and women's tournaments were used to qualify ten teams each for the 2020 Tokyo Games.[3] On 19 November 2021, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) announced the only eight male and eight female national teams would be selected.[4] This might reduce the round-robin games of two divisions with four pools in total, for two sexes, from 40 to 24 games. The team selection method had not yet been announced by the IPC.[5]

The post-19 November 2021 structure has yet to be announced.
