Format
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 were 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 would be played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the score was 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 were seeded, and the eight Europa League group third-placed teams were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.
- In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners were seeded, and the eight winners of the knockout round play-offs were unseeded. Again, the seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other.
- In the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, there were no seedings, and teams from the same association could be drawn against each other. As the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals were held together before the quarter-finals were played, the identity of the quarter-final winners was not known at the time of the semi-final draw. A draw was also held to determine which semi-final winner would be designated as the "home" team for the final (for administrative purposes as it was played at a neutral venue).
In the knockout phase, teams from the same or nearby cities (Roma and Lazio, Fenerbahçe and İstanbul Başakşehir, and Anderlecht and Union SG, who share the same stadium), the first team listed played in the Europa League were not scheduled to play at home on the same day, due to logistics and crowd control. To avoid such scheduling conflicts, UEFA had to make adjustments. For the knockout round playoffs and a round of 16, since both teams were in the same pot and must 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 is the domestic cup or Europa Conference League winner; i.e. Lazio and Anderlecht for this season), was moved from Thursday to Wednesday.{{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |title=UEFA Europa Conference League round of 16 draw {{!}} UEFA Europa Conference League 2022/23 |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaconferenceleague/draws/2023/2001692/ |access-date=2024-03-19 |website=UEFA |language=en}} 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.{{Cite web |date=June 28, 2023 |title=Principles set by the UEFA Club Competitions Committee for the 2022/23 season - City and stadium clashes |url=https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/027f-178bd3fd8351-9d0a126b96f7-1000/principles_city_and_stadium_clashes_2022-23.pdf |access-date=January 14, 2025 |website=UEFA}}{{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |date=2023-03-17 |title=UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final, semi-final and final draws: All you need to know {{!}} UEFA Europa Conference League |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaconferenceleague/news/027c-16c1073365b8-dde25cf799a2-1000--uefa-europa-conference-league-quarter-final-semi-final-a/ |access-date=2024-03-19 |website=UEFA |language=en}}
