The first observation of χcJ (J=0,1,2) decays to ΛΛ̅ is reported using ψ(2S) data collected with the Beijing Spectrometer detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The branching ratios are determined to be Bc0→ΛΛ̅ )=(4.7-1.2+1.3±1.0)×10-4, Bc1→ΛΛ̅ )=(2.6-0.9+1.0±0.6)×10-4 and Bc2→ΛΛ̅ )=(3.3-1.3+1.5±0.7)×10-4. The results are compared with model predictions.
