The 1976 New York Cosmos season was the 6th season for the New York Cosmos in the now-defunct North American Soccer League. In the Cosmos’ sixth year of existence the club finished second only to the Tampa Bay Rowdies in both the five-team Eastern Division and the 20-team league. The Cosmos returned to the playoffs for the first time in two years but were eliminated in the conference semifinals by the rival Rowdies.
