The 2022β23 UEFA Europa League knockout phase began on 16 February with the knockout round play-offs and ended on 31 May 2023 with the final at the PuskΓ‘s ArΓ©na in Budapest, Hungary, to decide the champions of the 2022β23 UEFA Europa League. [1] A total of 24 teams competed in the knockout phase. [2]
Times are CET/ CEST, [note 1] as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses).
The knockout phase involved 24 teams: the 16 teams which qualified as winners and runners-up of each of the eight groups in the group stage, and the eight third-placed teams from the Champions League group stage.

Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, then 30 minutes of extra time was played (the away goals rule was not applied). If the score was still level at the end of extra time, the winners were decided by a penalty shoot-out. In the final, which was played as a single match, if the score was level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the score was still level. [2]
The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:
In the knockout phase, teams from the same or nearby cities (Roma and Lazio, FenerbahΓ§e and Δ°stanbul BaΕakΕehir, and Anderlecht and Union SG, who share the same stadium), the second team listed played in the Europa Conference League were not scheduled to play at home on the same day, due to logistics and crowd control. To avoid such scheduling conflicts, adjustments had to be made by UEFA. For the knockout round playoffs and a round of 16, since both teams were drawn to play at home in a given leg, the home match of the team that was not the domestic cup or Europa Conference League winner, or lower domestic ranking (if neither are the domestic cup or Europa Conference League winner; i.e. Lazio and Anderlecht for this season), was moved from Thursday to Wednesday. [3] For the quarter-finals and semi-finals, if the two teams were drawn to play at home for the same leg, the order of legs of the tie involving the team with the lowest priority was reversed from the original draw. [4]
The schedule was as follows (all draws were held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland). [1]
