The 1974–75 UEFA Cup was the fourth season of the UEFA Cup, the third-tier club football competition organised by UEFA. The final was played over two legs at the Rheinstadion, Düsseldorf, West Germany, and at the Diekman Stadion, Enschede, the Netherlands. It was won by Borussia Mönchengladbach of West Germany, who defeated FC Twente of the Netherlands by an aggregate result of 5–1 to claim their first UEFA Cup title.
No team from West Germany had ever won the UEFA Cup, or its unofficial predecessor Inter-Cities Fairs Cup before Borussia's first conquest, which came two years after reaching the final in 1973. In that edition, both teams had already faced in the semi-finals, which ended with the same aggregate score. For the first time since the 1966 edition of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, no English team reached the final.
Association team allocation
[edit]A total of 63 teams from 30 UEFA member associations participate in the 1974–75 UEFA Cup. The original allocation scheme was as follows:
- 3 associations have four teams qualify.
- 3 associations have three teams qualify.
- 18 associations have two teams qualify.
- 7 associations have one team qualify.
The Netherlands and Austria were the two associations selected to have an extra third birth for this season, while Scotland and Belgium went back to two qualified teams.

Notes
- ^ West Germany: The fourth UEFA Cup spot for West Germany was not awarded to the fourth best team not qualified for the European Cup or the European Cup Winners' Cup, which was Kaiserslautern, as it was common practice. Instead, this place was awarded to Hamburg, who had been runners-up in the 1973–74 DFB-Pokal.
- ^ Poland: All spots for European competition were decided with three matchdays left in the league, which was interrupted at that point due to the scheduling of the 1974 FIFA World Cup. As the third-placed team at the time of matchday 27, Legia Warsaw earned the second UEFA Cup spot, but it would later finish fourth behind Stal Mielec.
- ^ Cyprus: Pezoporikos Larnaca had already been drawn in the UEFA Cup against Dukla Prague before the mass withdrawal of all Cypriot teams, as a result of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. The match-up was declared as a walk-over win for Dukla Prague.
