The 2022–23 UEFA Europa League is the 52nd season of Europe’s secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA
It is the 14th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League.
The final for this season will be played at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary.
Budapest was originally scheduled to host the final match for the 2021–22 Europa League.
But several hosts were shifted because of the delay and ultimate relocation of the 2020 final due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The winners of the tournament will automatically qualify for the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League group stage.
They will also earn the right to play against the winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League in the 2023 UEFA Super Cup.
