A total of 16 players will take part in the Women's Grand Prix Series 2022-23, each playing three of four WGP tournaments.

Each WGP tournament is a single round-robin with 12 participants. Each player will be awarded WGP points according to her performance in each tournament; the winner of the WGP series will be the player who has scored the most points in all three WGP tournaments in which she has participated.

The total prize money for each of the four tournaments is 80,000, with a further 80,000 distributed among the top 8 overall Grand Prix Series finishers.

After the tournaments in Astana and Munich, the FIDE Grand Prix in New Delhi is the third in the series. Anna and Mariya Muzychuk were present at the Grand Prix in Munich, but they did not play in Astana. By not taking part in New Delhi, the two Ukrainian grandmasters, who fled their homeland after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and now live in Spain, will therefore play at most two (and not three like the other 16 participants in the Womens Grand Prix) of the four Grand Prix tournaments.

To replace Anna and Mariya Muzychuk, Nino Batsiashvili and Vaishali Rameshbabu have been nominated for the New Delhi tournament.
