The Football Association Challenge Cup 1875–76 was the fifth staging of the FA Cup, England's oldest football tournament. Thirty-two teams entered, three more than the previous season, although five of the thirty-two never played a match.
The fifth ever FA Cup would feature a knockout style tournament, similar to the 1934 FIFA World Cup, except with 32 club teams.
