European Champion Clubs' Cup / UEFA Champions League

The European Champion Clubs' Cup was founded in 1955 and was renamed the UEFA Champions League in 1992.[40] Malmö FF first entered the competition in 1964–65, qualifying by virtue of their position at the top of the Allsvenskan table midway through the 1964 season. As Allsvenskan is played between April and October of each year, out of step with most European leagues, modern practice sees each season's Allsvenskan champions qualify for the UEFA Champions League competition starting in August the following year. Malmö FF's most notable achievement in this competition, and in all European tournaments, is reaching the final at the end of the 1978–79 season. In the 2014–15 season the side passed the qualifying rounds for the first time since the competition was re–branded. The following is a complete list of matches played by Malmö FF in the European Cup and the UEFA Champions League; it includes the season of the tournament, the stage, the opponent club and its country, the date, the venue and the score. It is up to date as of the 2022–23 season.
