Koper were the defending champions after winning their fourth cup title the previous season. Olimpija Ljubljana won the cup after defeating their rivals Maribor 2–1 after extra time in the final.[3]
The winners should have qualified for the second qualifying round of the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League. However, as Olimpija already qualified for the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League through the domestic league, the place was given to Celje, the second-placed team of the 2022–23 Slovenian PrvaLiga.
