The season 1969–70 of the European Cup football club tournament was won by Feyenoord in an extra time final victory against Celtic FC. It was the first time the cup went to the Netherlands, and beginning a run of four consecutive years the trophy went there. During this tournament, playoffs were abandoned in favour of away goals, or when each side had scored the same number one side was eliminated by the toss of a coin.

Milan, the defending champions, were eliminated by Feyenoord in the second round.
