The 1962 season was Santos Futebol Clube's fiftieth in existence and the club's second consecutive season in the top flight of Brazilian football. It was also the club's first-ever participation in the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup.
Santos won four of the five official titles played in that campaign, lifting the Copa Libertadores, the Intercontinental Cup, the Campeonato Paulista and the Taça Brasil (with the final match played in April 1963). They also finished second in the Taça Estado de São Paulo (later considered as the first edition of the Copa Paulista), which the club played without several key players who were serving the Brazil national team in the 1962 FIFA World Cup.
Santos also played friendlies in South America and Europe, playing for the third consecutive time in the Tournoi de Paris. In that tournament, also played during the World Cup, the club finished fourth and failed to repeat the same success of the previous years.
This season was considered by many as the peak of the Os Santásticos, as the club's most successful campaign ever.
