The 2022âÂÂ23 UEFA Champions League knockout phase began on 14 February with the round of 16 and ended on 10 June 2023 with the final at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, to decide the champions of the 2022âÂÂ23 UEFA Champions League. A total of 16 teams competed in the knockout phase.
Times are CET/CEST, as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses).
The knockout phase involved the 16 teams which qualified as winners and runners-up of each of the eight groups in the group stage. <section begin=Qualified teams /> <section end=Qualified teams />
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. <section begin=Format /> The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:
For the quarter-finals and semi-finals, teams from the same city (e.g. A.C. Milan and Inter Milan, who share the same stadium), were not scheduled to play at home on the same day or consecutive days, due to logistics and crowd control. To avoid such scheduling conflict, if the two teams were drawn to play at home for the same leg, the order of legs of the tie involving the team which was not titleholders of Champions League or Europa League (or lower-tier, if both were continental titleholders), or the team with the lower domestic ranking in the qualifying season (if neither team were continental title holder, e.g. Inter Milan for this season) was reversed from the original draw.
The schedule was as follows (all draws were held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).
