The 2023 UEFA Champions League Final will be the final match of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, the 68th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 31st season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League. It will be played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey on 10 June 2023.[1]

The final was originally scheduled to be played at Wembley Stadium in London, England. However, due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, the scheduled hosts for subsequent finals were shifted back a year, and the Allianz Arena in Munich was assigned the 2023 final.[2] When the 2021 final, which had been scheduled to be played in Istanbul, also had to be relocated due to COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey, the 2023 final was given to Istanbul instead. Munich will now host the 2025 final.[3]

The winners will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League in the 2023 UEFA Super Cup.

Venue[]

This will be the second UEFA Champions League final played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium; the first was held in 2005.

Host selection[]

For the details on the selection of London as the original host for the final, see 2024 UEFA Champions League Final § Host selection.

An open bidding process was launched on 22 February 2019 by UEFA to select the 2022 and 2023 UEFA Champions League final venues.[4] Associations had until 22 March 2019 to express interest, and bid dossiers had to be submitted by 1 July 2019.[5]

While the bidding associations have not been confirmed by UEFA, the German Football Association was reported to have bid with the Allianz Arena in Munich, should they not be awarded the 2021 final.[6]

The Allianz Arena was selected by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 24 September 2019,[7] where the hosts for the 2021 and 2023 UEFA Champions League finals were also appointed.[8]

On 17 June 2020, the UEFA Executive Committee announced that due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final, Munich would instead host the 2023 final.[2] However, because of the relocation of the 2021 final from Istanbul, they would host the 2023 final. Munich would host the 2025 final instead.[3]
