The 1975–76 WHA season was the fourth season of the now defunct World Hockey Association. After the Baltimore Blades and Chicago Cougars folded, the league stayed at 14 teams by adding the Cincinnati Stingers and Denver Spurs. In addition, Vancouver moved to Calgary and became the Cowboys. Midway through the season, the Spurs moved to Ottawa and became the Civics. Theoretically, fourteen teams would play 80 games each, but four of five Canadian Division teams played 81, due to the WHA's tiebreaker rule, while two teams (Minnesota and Denver/Ottawa) folded mid-season. Regular season
