The 1975–76 Kansas City Scouts season was the second, and final season for the NHL franchise in Kansas City, Missouri. They played their home games at Kemper Arena. The Scouts started the season by going 11–21–4 in their first 36 games, but after their December 28 win against the California Golden Seals, the Scouts would win only once in their final 44 games, to finish with a record of 12 wins, 56 losses, and 12 ties (for a season-ending total of 36 points). During the summer of 1976, the Scouts left Kansas City for Denver to become the Colorado Rockies, ending its two-year stint in Kansas City.
