1969–70 FIBA European Champions Cup

The 1969–70 FIBA European Champions Cup was the thirteenth installment of the FIBA European Champions Cup (now called EuroLeague). The Final was held at the Sportska Dvorana Skenderija in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia on April 4, 1970. It was won by Ignis Varese who defeated CSKA Moscow by a result of 79–74.

Competition system

24 teams (European national domestic league champions, plus the then current title holders) played knock-out rounds on a home and away basis. The aggregate score of both games decided the winner.
The eight teams qualified for 1/4 Finals were divided into two groups of four. Every team played against the other three in its group in consecutive home-and-away matches, so that every two of these games counted as a single win or defeat (point difference being a decisive factor there). In case of a tie between two or more teams after the group stage, the following criteria was used to decide the final standing: 1) one-to-one games between the teams; 2) basket average; 3) individual wins and defeats.
The group winners and runners-up of the 1/4 Final round qualified for 1/2 Finals. The final was played at a predetermined venue.
