Using 4.48 × 10⁸ ψ (3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the decays χ_cJ → μ⁺μ^– J/ψ through the radiative decays ψ(3686) → γχ_cJ, where J = 0,1,2. The decays χ_c1,2 → μ⁺μ^–J/ψ are observed, and the corresponding branching fractions are measured to be B(χ_c1 → μ⁺μ^–J/ψ) = (2.51 ± 0.18 ± 0.20) × 10^–4 and B(χ_c2 → μ⁺μ^–J/ψ) = (2.33 ± 0.18 ± 0.29) × 10^–4, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one systematic. No significant χ_c0 → μ⁺μ^–J/ψ decay is observed, and the upper limit on the branching fraction is determined to be 2.0×10^–5 at 90% confidence level. Furthermore, we present a study of dimuon invariant mass dependent transition form factor for the decays χ_c1,2 → μ⁺μ^–J/ψ.
