The 1996–97 UEFA Cup was the 26th season of the UEFA Cup, the third-tier club football competition organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). It was won by German side Schalke 04, who beat Internazionale of Italy on penalties after the two-legged final finished 1–1 on aggregate. Defending champions Bayern Munich were eliminated in the first round by Valencia.

This was the last year in which the UEFA Cup final was played in a two-legged, home-and-away format. From 1998, the final was played as a single match at a neutral venue.

Format[edit]

According to 1995 UEFA ranking, Bulgaria ceded a slot to Norway.

The access list was finally increased to 117 clubs:

  • all the 47 federations obtained a UEFA place,
  • all the 24 national champions excluded from the Champions League entered in the UEFA Cup,
  • all the 8 national champions that failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage entered in the UEFA Cup First round
  • a third winner of the UEFA Intertoto Cup was added,
  • 3 clubs of the UEFA Fair Play ranking were confirmed.

A second qualifying round was consequently added for the first time in the history of the European competitions.
