The Fussball Club Basel 1893 1975–76 season was their 82nd season since the club was founded. It was their 30th consecutive season in the top flight of Swiss football after they won promotion during the season 1945–46. They played their home games in the St. Jakob Stadium.

Overview

Helmut Benthaus was first team manager for the tenthconsecutive season.

The Swiss Football Association was reforming the Swiss football league system this year, reducing the number of teams in the Nationalliga A from 14 to 12 and increasing the Nationalliga B teams from 14 to 16. Therefore three teams were being relegated and only one promoted.
