Manchester City defeated Inter Milan at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. The stadium was originally appointed to host the 2020 UEFA Champions League Final, but both this, and the 2021 final which had been eventually re-allocated to the Atatürk, were moved due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As winners Manchester City automatically qualified for the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League group stage, and earned the right to play against the winner of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League, Sevilla, in the 2023 UEFA Super Cup and the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup, winning both.
Real Madrid were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Manchester City in the semifinals.
A total of 78 teams from 53 of the 55 UEFA member associations participate in the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League (the exceptions being Russia, who are banned from participating due to 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Liechtenstein,Note LIE[›] which does not organise a domestic league). The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[1]
For the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2021 UEFA association coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2016–17 to 2020–21.[2]
Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:

NOTE: The following list of qualified teams is provisional, subject to final confirmation by UEFA in June 2022, as each participating team must obtain a UEFA club licence. All qualified teams are included in this list as long as they have not been banned by UEFA or have not failed their final appeal with their football association on obtaining a licence. |
The labels in the parentheses show how each team qualified for the place of its starting round:
The second qualifying round, third qualifying round and play-off round are divided into Champions Path (CH) and League Path (LP).
