# Athletics at the 2022 Commonwealth Games – Qualification

There was a nominal total of 96 quota places available (in parasport events only) for athletics at the 2022 Commonwealth Games; 48 each for men and women.

## Rules

Each Commonwealth Games Association (CGA) may qualify up to three places per event, which equates to a maximum quota of thirty-six. Seven places per event are determined by the World Para Athletics (WPA) World Rankings (for performances between 31 December 2020 and 25 April 2022), with the last spot reserved for a Bipartite Invitation; all those who qualify may also enter other events provided the three-per-CGA limit is respected.
The events are open to sport classes as follows:
* Men's 100 metres T12: T11/12
* Men's 100 metres T38: T37/38
* Men's 100 metres T47: T45–47
* Men's 1500 metres T54: T53/54
* Men's marathon T54: T53/54
* Men's discus throw F44/64: F42–44/61–64
* Women's 100 metres T34: T33/34
* Women's 100 metres T38: T37/38
* Women's 1500 metres T54: T53/54
* Women's marathon T54: T53/54
* Women's shot put F57: F55–57
* Women's discus throw F44/64: F42–44/61–64
In addition, all those who qualify for the men's 100 metres T12 event are entitled to compete with a guide, which has no impact on quota allocation.
