Notes
- ^ Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian teams were required to play their home matches at neutral venues until further notice.[34]
- ^ St Patrick's Athletic played their third round home match at Tallaght Stadium, instead of their regular stadium, Richmond Park, which did not meet UEFA requirements for that round.
