## Team

On 29 June 2022, the Swiss Athletics Federation announced a 26-member team qualified for the World Athletics Championships, which included the heptathlete Caroline Agnou who was later ruled out due to injury, reducing the Swiss team to 25 athletes. The final entry list published by World Athletics consigned 26 athletes for Switzerland, with Rachel Pellaud being added to the women's 4 × 400 metres relay team.
