The 2023 Bulgarian Supercup was the 20th edition of the Bulgarian Supercup, an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's First League and the Bulgarian Cup. The game was played between the champions of the 2022–23 First League, Ludogorets Razgrad, and the 2023 Bulgarian Cup runners-up, CSKA 1948 Sofia, since Ludogorets won both trophies.

This was Ludogorets's 11th Supercup appearance and CSKA 1948's first. It was also the two teams' first meeting in the Supercup.

Initially supposed to be played in July 2023, the game has been rescheduled due to the participation of both teams in European competition. On 15 December 2023 the Bulgarian Professional Football League announced that the game has been scheduled for 10 February 2024.[2]

The match finished 1–1, but Ludogorets won 4–2 on penalties for their 7th Supercup title.[3]
