Defending champion, Leon Madsen from Denmark was automatically invited to participate in all final events, while Janusz Kołodziej, Mikkel Michelsen, Patryk Dudek and Dominik Kubera secured their participation in all final events thanks to being in the top five of the general classification in the 2022 season.

Five riders qualified through the SEC Challenge,[2] while the final five riders were handed wildcards by the SEC Commission.[3]
