The Final was held at the Sporthalle, in Cologne, West Germany, on March 25, 1982. Squibb Cantù defeated the defending title holders, Maccabi Elite Tel Aviv, by a result of 86–80.

• 24 teams (European national domestic league champions, plus the then current title holders), playing in a tournament system, entered a Quarterfinal Group Stage, divided into six groups that played in 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 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 6 group winners of the Quarterfinal Group Stage advanced to Semifinal Group Stage, which was played as a single group under the same round-robin rules.
• The group winner and the runner-up of the Semifinal Group Stage qualified for the final, which was played at a predetermined venue.
