1967–68 FIBA European Champions Cup was the eleventh installment of the FIBA European Champions Cup basketball club competition. The Final was held at the Palais des Sports, Lyon, France, on April 11, 1968, and it was won by Real Madrid, who defeated Spartak ZJŠ Brno by a result of 98–95.

Competition system

  • 24 teams (domestic champions plus title holders) playing 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 those games counted as a single win or defeat (point difference being a decisive factor here). In case of a tie between two or more teams after the group stage, the following criteria was used to decide the final standings: 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 Finals round qualified for 1/2 Finals. The final was played at a predetermined venue.
