The 2023 CAF Super Cup, known as the TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup 2023 for sponsorship reasons,[2] was the 32nd CAF Super Cup, an annual football match in Africa organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), between the winners of the previous season's two CAF club competitions, the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup.

On 26 August, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has communicated the date of the course of CAF Super Cup final. This match took place on September 15 at the King Fahd Sports City in Taif, Saudi Arabia.[3]

If the score is tied at the end of regulation, extra time was not played, and the penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (CAF Champions League Regulations XXVII and CAF Confederation Cup Regulations XXV).[4][5]
