The 12th season of the international television game show Jeux sans frontières was held in the summer of 1976. Broadcasters from Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and West Germany participated in the competition coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The different heats were hosted by each of the participant broadcasters in locations in their countries such as Milan (Italy), Liège (Belgium), Bad Mergentheim (West Germany), Groningen (Netherlands), Nîmes (France), Caslano (Switzerland), and Leeds (United Kingdom). The grand final was held in Blackpool (United Kingdom).
