The 2023 Bulgarian Cup final was the final match of the 2022–23 Bulgarian Cup and the 83rd final of the Bulgarian Cup. The final took place on 24 May 2023 at the Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia.[3] On 16 May the date and venue has been confirmed.[4]

The clubs contesting the final were CSKA 1948 and Ludogorets Razgrad.[5][6] For CSKA 1948, this was the very first final in their club history since their foundation in 2016, whereas for Ludogorets, it was the first since 2017 and 4th overall. This was also the first meeting between both clubs on the stage of the Bulgarian Cup.

Ludogorets won the final 3–1 for their third cup title and first since 2014.[7] As they were already assured of a participation in the UEFA Europa Conference League via their league performance, their berth for the second qualifying round of 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League was passed to the third-placed team in the 2022–23 First League. In contrast with the previous final, this match had one of the lowest attendance records in the history of the competition.[1]
