When is the Europa League final 2023?
The Europa League final 2023 takes place in Budapest

The Europa League final 2023 is one of the biggest dates in the footballing calendar – and one of three major showpieces that UEFA have lined up for the end of the season.
As well as winning that silver vase-like trophy, there's the obvious incentive that the team who wins the Europa League will be invited into next season's Champions League as a top seed.
Domestically in England, the League Cup final is the opener in February, the FA Cup final is yet to come in May, while the other European finals of the Champions League and Europa Conference League are both scheduled for when the domestic season ends.
Everything you need to know about the Europa League final 2023
When is the Europa League final 2023?
The Europa League final 2023 takes place on May 31, 2023.
The match will likely take place at 8pm in the evening, UK time, just as it usually does. Unlike the Champions League final, however, this game is not shifted to the weekend and still takes place midweek.
Odder still, the traditional Europa slot of Thursday nights (now you have the BT Sport advert in your head, right?) is ignored for the final, with the game taking place on a Wednesday instead.
Where will the Europa League final 2023 be played?
The Europa League final 2023 will be played at Puskas Arena, Budapest, Hungary.
Just as with the Champions League final, Budapest was originally scheduled to host an earlier final, until the COVID-19 pandemic got in the way. Back in 2020, the Europa showpiece was moved to Germany, given that it was safer due to the pandemic restrictions and travel.
Due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final, the final hosts for both tournaments have shifted, with Budapest now hosting the 2023 final at last.
