It was sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation. It served as the Asian qualifiers for the 2022 Thomas & Uber Cup in Thailand.

Background
The 2022 Badminton Asia Team Championships will crown the best male and female national badminton teams in Asia and at the same time serve as the Asian qualification event towards the 2022 Thomas & Uber Cup finals.[2]
Competition format
The competition begins with a group stage: all participating teams are divided into four groups of two or three teams each. Each team plays each other once, with the top two teams advancing to the knockout stage. A match is won by the team that first wins three games. The eight teams that qualify will be drawn and compete in a knockout format until the final.[2]
- Tie-breaker
Team ranking within a group is determined based on the following criteria: number of wins; match difference; game difference; and points difference. If two teams are tied after a criterion is applied, the winner of the match between the two teams will be ranked higher. A draw will be held to determine ranking if there are still teams tied after all criteria are applied.[3]
Hosting
In January 2022, Malaysia was selected to host the championships, with Shah Alam selected as its host city and the venue being the Setia City Convention Centre.[4]
