- A total of 89 teams have qualified at least one athlete so far (88 nations, and the delegation from Russia which will compete under the IOC flag).
- Ecuador, Eritrea, Kosovo, Malaysia, and Singapore are scheduled to make their Winter Olympics debut if they decide to participate.
- North Korean athletes will be allowed to cross the DMZ into South Korea since two North Korean figure skaters qualified.
- Russia's status remained unclear due to the state-sponsored doping scandal. On 5 December 2017 it was announced that the Russian Olympic Committee was suspended effective immediately. Individual athletes who qualified and can demonstrate they have complied with the IOC's doping regulations will be allowed to compete as "Olympic Athletes from Russia," (OAR) under a neutral flag and with the Olympic anthem played in any ceremony.
