Format

The continental championships no longer belong to the qualification system for the World Cup. Instead, two rounds of continental qualifying tournaments were held over two years in a home-and-away format.^[1]

The first round of the qualifiers were held in late 2017 and early 2018. The Americas, Asia / Oceania and Africa qualifiers featured 16 teams each, whereas Europe had 32 teams. Division A teams was split in groups of four, to be held in a home-and-away round-robin. The top three teams in each groups advanced to round two, and last placed teams played the best Division B teams to qualify for the next season's Division A.

Round two of the World Cup qualifiers were held in late 2018 and early 2019. Teams were split in groups of six, totaling four groups in Europe and two in the other qualifiers. Teams carried over the points from round one, and face another three teams again in a home-and-away round-robin. The best teams in each group qualified for the World Cup.

Starting in 2019, no wild card qualification were held, and the Olympic champions no longer directly qualified to the World Cup.

The draw for the qualifiers was held on 7 May 2017 in Guangzhou, China.^[2]
