The 1976–77 English Hockey League season took place from September 1976 until May 1977.

The Men's Cup was won by Slough.[1]

The Men's National Inter League Championship brought together the winners of their respective regional leagues. The championship (held in September 1977) was won by Southgate.[2]

As from the 1980-81 season the National Inter League Championship would be held in the spring of the same season instead of the Autumn of the following season.
