The 1988–89 FIBA European Champions Cup was the 32nd season of the FIBA European Champions Cup (now called EuroLeague), which was won by Jugoplastika, after they beat Maccabi Elite 75-69. The culminating EuroLeague Final Four was held at Olympiahalle, Munich, FR Germany, on 4–6 April 1989. Dino Rađa was named Final Four MVP.

Competition system

27 teams (European national domestic league champions only) played knock-out rounds on a home and away basis. The aggregate score of both games decided the winner.

The eight remaining teams after the knock-out rounds entered a 1/4 Final 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 was used to decide the final classification: 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 top four teams after the 1/4 Final Group Stage qualified for the Final Stage (Final Four), which was played at a predetermined venue.
