The 1995–96 UEFA Cup was won by Bayern Munich on aggregate over Bordeaux. Girondins de Bordeaux went to the finals all the way from the 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup.
Örebro SK defeated Avenir Beggen in the preliminary round but some days later, it was decided that Avenir Beggen was allowed to advance since Örebro fielded an ineligible player.
This was the first time that English clubs had all four of their UEFA Cup places back, five years after the end of their ban as a result of the Heysel disaster in 1985. However, the only team to reach the quarter-finals of this European competition (or indeed any of the three European competitions) were Nottingham Forest.
The 1995–96 season also saw the return of Yugoslav clubs on the international scene after three years of ban due to UN embargo. However, Yugoslav national champion, Red Star Belgrade, was eliminated as early as in the qualifying round.
