In the 2020 World Rankings, which has experienced very little movement in comparison to the past edition due to a lack of tournaments, the Swiss Men's national team still sits in eighth place, just behind Germany. They will thus face Russia (2), Czechia (5), and a yet to be determined qualifier at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Group A: 
Canada (1), 
USA (6), 
Germany (7), 
China (12)
Group B: 
Russia (2), 
Czechia (5), 
Switzerland (8), Qualifier 3 (11)
Group C: 
Finland (3), 
Sweden (4), Qualifier 1 (9), Qualifier 2 (10)
Also the Women's IIHF World Ranking has changed very little. The top six are still the same. These teams are thus automatically qualified for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, among them also Switzerland, who currently sits in fifth place.
