The 2022–23 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 Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary, to decide the champions of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League. A total of 24 teams will compete in the knockout phase.
Times are CET/CEST, as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses).
Qualified teams[]
The knockout phase will involve 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.

Format[]
Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advances to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, then 30 minutes of extra time is played (the away goals rule is not applied). If the score is still level at the end of extra time, the winners are decided by a penalty shoot-out. In the final, which is played as a single match, if the score is level at the end of normal time, extra time is played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the score is still level.
The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:
- In the draw for the knockout round play-offs, the eight group runners-up will be seeded, and the eight Champions League group third-placed teams will be unseeded. The seeded teams will be drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
- In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners will be seeded, and the eight winners of the knockout round play-offs will be unseeded. Again, the seeded teams will be drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
- In the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, there will be no seedings, and teams from the same association could be drawn against each other. As the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals will be held together before the quarter-finals were played, the identity of the quarter-final winners will not be known at the time of the semi-final draw. A draw will also be held to determine which semi-final winner will be designated as the "home" team for the final (for administrative purposes as it will be played at a neutral venue).
Schedule[]
The schedule will be as follows (all draws will be held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).
