The 1985-86 Full Members' Cup was the first edition of the tournament created to compensate for the ban on English clubs from European football following the Heysel Stadium disaster. It was won by Chelsea, who beat Manchester City 5–4 in the final at Wembley Stadium.

The tournament attracted just 21 entries from the 44 eligible clubs. Only five First Division clubs entered (Chelsea, Coventry City, Manchester City, Oxford United and West Bromwich Albion).

The second division teams that did not enter were Barnsley, Blackburn Rovers, Huddersfield Town, Norwich City, Oldham Athletic and Wimbledon.
