The 1972–73 season of the European Cup football club tournament was won for the third consecutive time by Ajax in the final against Juventus at Red Star Stadium in Belgrade. The win by Ajax resulted in the fourth consecutive championship by a Dutch team. As they were the only Dutch club this time and neither Albania nor Northern Ireland sent their champions, the number of clubs playing dropped to 30.
