1982–83 FIBA European Champions Cup

Competition system

• Twenty-four teams, playing in a tournament system, played knock-out rounds on a home and away basis. The aggregate score of both games decided the winner.
• The six remaining teams after the knock-out rounds entered a Semifinal Group Stage, which was played as a round-robin. The final standing was based on individual wins and defeats. In the case of a tie between two or more teams after the group stage, the following criteria were used:

1. number of wins in one-to-one games between the teams;
2. basket average between the teams;
3. general basket average within the group.

• The winner and the runner-up of the Semifinal Group Stage qualified for the final, which was played at a predetermined venue.
