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

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.
