The final tournament took place at the Palma Arena in Palma de Mallorca, Spain on 5–7 May 2023.
Debutants Palma Futsal defeated Sporting CP on penalties in the final to claim their first title in the competition and became the fifth club to win the title in their debut appearance.

Association team allocation
A total of 56 teams from 52 of the 55 UEFA member associations participated in the 2022–23 UEFA Futsal Champions League. The association ranking based on the UEFA futsal national team coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association: The top three-ranked associations have two teams qualify. The winners of the 2021–22 UEFA Futsal Champions League qualify automatically and its association can also enter a second team. If the title-holders' association is among the top three-ranked associations, the 4th ranked association is also entitled to enter a second team. The remaining associations have one team qualify.
For this season, the top three-ranked associations are Portugal, Russia, and Spain. As the title holders are from Spain, the 4th ranked association, Kazakhstan, can enter two teams. After UEFA's decision to exclude Russian clubs from the 2022–23 UEFA competitions due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the right to enter a second team passed to the 5th ranked association, Croatia.

In each group, teams played against each other in a single round-robin format hosted by one of the participating teams.
