The 2023 UEFA Super Cup was the 48th edition of the UEFA Super Cup, an annual football match organised by UEFA and contested by the reigning champions of the top two European club competitions, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. The match featured English club Manchester City, winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, and Spanish club Sevilla, winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League. It was played at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Athens, Greece, on 16 August 2023.[5]

The match was originally scheduled to be played at the Ak Bars Arena in Kazan, Russia. However, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was moved on 25 January 2023 to Athens.

Manchester City won the match 5–4 on penalties following a 1–1 draw after 90 minutes for their first UEFA Super Cup title.[6]
