2022–23 UEFA Europa League

The 2022–23 UEFA Europa League was the 52nd season of Europe's second-tier club football competition organized by UEFA. It's the 14th season since it was changed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League. In the final match, Sevilla beat Roma at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary. They won 4–1 in a penalty shootout after the game ended 1–1 even after extra time. This victory marked their seventh win in this competition, which is more than any other team. Originally, Budapest was supposed to host the final for the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League, but plans changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused delays and relocations.

Because they won the tournament, Sevilla automatically got a spot in the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League group stage. They also earned the right to play against the winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, Manchester City, in the 2023 UEFA Super Cup.

As the previous champions, Eintracht Frankfurt qualified for the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, but they couldn't keep their title because they were eliminated in the knockout stage.
