Rugby sevens
As of 9 March 2022, Fiji qualified for both the men's and women's tournaments. The men achieved qualification through their positions in the 2018–19 / 2019–20 World Rugby Sevens Series, whereas the women achieved qualification via the 2019 Oceania Women's Sevens Championship (owing to the cancellation of an Oceania qualifier that was scheduled for April 2022).
Both squads were confirmed on 6 July 2022, including several members of the squad that won the Tokyo 2020 men's tournament.
