The 2023 Greek Cup final was the 79th final of the Greek Cup. It took place on 24 May 2023 at Panthessaliko Stadium. The contesting teams were AEK Athens and PAOK. It was AEK Athens' twenty-seventh Greek Cup final in their 99 years of existence and PAOK's twenty third Greek Cup final and third consecutive, of their 97-year history. After the continuous refusals of the mayor of Volos, Achilleas Beos to grant Panthessaliko Stadium to host the match, as the proclamation dictated, a series of consultations occurred about the venue of the match throughout the season. The HFF, examined many proposals which included stadiums from the United States, England, Germany, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Cuprus, Albania and stadiums all over Greece. Eventually, Beos accepted and it was decided at 12 May that the match would take place at Panthessaliko Stadium.
