Sporting reached the First Round proper of the FA Cup for the first time in 1975–76, where they were drawn at home to Tranmere Rovers, then top of Division Four.

The game was moved to Coventry City's Highfield Road, where Sporting won 2–0.

They were again drawn at home in the Second Round, but lost 4–0 to Peterborough United, again at Highfield Road.
