The 5th season of the international television game show Jeux sans frontières was held in the summer of 1969. Broadcasters from Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and West Germany participated in the competition coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), with France withdrawing in order to recover from the effects of the 1968 protests. The different heats were hosted by each of the participant broadcasters in locations in their countries such as Caserta (Italy), Bruges (Belgium), Wolfsburg (West Germany), Martigny (Switzerland), and Edinburgh (United Kingdom). The grand final was held in Blackpool (United Kingdom). The head international referees in charge of supervising the competition were Gennaro Olivieri and Guido Pancaldi.[1]
The season was won by the teams from Wolfsburg, West Germany and Shrewsbury, United Kingdom.[2][3]
