The remaining judoka must undergo a qualifying process to earn a spot for the Games through the world ranking list prepared by International Judo Federation that begins on May 30, 2014, and then concludes two years later on the same date.^[1]

The top 22 men and top 14 women from the world rankings in each division must directly qualify, ensuring that the NOC is subjected to a limit of 1 judoka per division.^[2] If an NOC contains more than a single male athlete ranked in the top 22 and a single female in the top 14 of the world ranking list, the NOC can decide which of their athletes obtain the quota places. Further continental quotas (Europe 25, Africa 24, Pan America 21, Asia 20 and Oceania 10 across both sexes and all divisions) are also subjected to an overall limit to one judoka per NOC and two judoka per division from each continent.^[1]^[3]
