The final was originally scheduled to be played at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary. However, due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final, the final hosts were shifted back a year, with Budapest instead hosting the 2023 final.[1]

The winners will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League in the 2022 UEFA Super Cup.

Venue

This will be the first Europa League final to be held at the stadium. It previously hosted the 1986 European Cup Final. The city of Seville hosted the 2003 UEFA Cup Final at the Estadio de La Cartuja. Spain had hosted four other UEFA Cup finals (holding a leg in 1977, 1985, 1986, and 1988).
