Here are all the winners of the UEFA Champions League since the first for the 1955-56 season. Real Madrid hold the record for the most victories, having won the competition 14 times, including the inaugural competition in 1956, and the latest in 2022.

The 2013-14 final was the first in the tournament's history to feature teams from the same city. The same two clubs faced each other again in the 2016 final.
