Fußball-Bundesliga 1975–76 was the thirteenth season of the Fußball-Bundesliga, West Germany's premier football league. It began on 9 August 1975^[1] and ended on 12 June 1976.^[2] Borussia Mönchengladbach were the defending champions.

[edit] Competition modus

Every team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away. Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. If two or more teams were tied on points, places were determined by goal difference and, if still tied, by goals scored. The team with the most points were crowned champions while the three teams with the least points were relegated to their respective 2. Fußball-Bundesliga divisions.

[edit] Team changes to 1974–75

VfB Stuttgart, Tennis Borussia Berlin and Wuppertaler SV were relegated to the 2. Bundesliga after finishing in the last three places. They were replaced by Hannover 96, winners of the 2. Bundesliga Northern Division, Karlsruher SC, winners of the Southern Division and Bayer 05 Uerdingen, who won a two-legged promotion play-off against FK Pirmasens.
