The 2028 UEFA Conference League final will be the final match of the 2027–28 UEFA Conference League, the 7th season of Europe's tertiary club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 4th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Europa Conference League to the UEFA Conference League. It is scheduled to be played on 24 May 2028.[1]

The winners will qualify to enter the league phase of the 2028–29 UEFA Europa League, unless they have already qualified for the Champions League or Europa League through their league performance (in which case the access list will be rebalanced).
