**Benfica withdrew before the first leg and Legia Warsaw received a forfeit (2-0) in both games.
***PUC couldn't travel to Belgrade to play the first leg after all fights to the Yugoslavian capital were cancelled due to adverse weather. Later, FIBA decided that this tie should be played as a single game in Paris (16 January 1964).
- Automatically qualified to the quarter finals
- CSKA Moscow (title holder) withdrew before the competition. The "official" explanation given by the Soviet Basketball Federation was to prepare the Olympic Games.
