1965–66 European Cup#Preliminary round

A total of 31 teams participated in the competition.

For the first time since inaugural edition all associations were represented by only one team.

17 Nëntori, LASK, Levski Sofia, APOEL, Sparta Prague, HJK, Nantes, Keflavík, Derry City, Kilmarnock, Lausanne-Sports, and Werder Bremen made their debut in the competition.

Djurgårdens IF made their first appearance since the inaugural 1955–56 tournament, while Manchester United and Stade Dudelange returned to the competition after seven years.

All participants were their respective associations champions, except for Lyn. They were leading 1. divisjon at the summer break on 1 July 1965, after 9 of 18 matches had been played, but finished second in autumn of 1965.{{cite web |url=https://www.nifs.no/tabell.php?countryId=1&toDate=1965-06-20&displayMode=basic&tournamentId=5&stageId=45 |title=NIFS - Norsk & Internasjonal Fotballstatistikk |language=no |access-date=1 November 2024}}

Similar to previous editions, only title holders Inter Milan received a bye to the first round. The remaining clubs would play the preliminary round in September and October, apart from two matches that took place in late August.

For the second time in row teams in the preliminary round were not divided geographically into pots, which resulted in some teams covering over 6,200 kilometres for their ties (e.g. Keflavík and Ferencváros), while other had shorter trips (e.g. LASK and Górnik Zabrze – around 800 kilometres).
