The 26th Canadian Film Awards were held on October 12, 1975 to honour achievements in Canadian film. The ceremony was hosted by radio personality Peter Gzowski.

The CFAs were expanded into a week-long event in Niagara-on-the-Lake which included all-day screenings, a National Film Board of Canada retrospective, and daily 'Meet the Filmmakers' programs.

Due to the Quebec boycott crisis which protested the treatment of films from Quebec at the 25th Canadian Film Awards in 1973, and the resulting cancellation of the awards in 1974, the 1975 awards covered films released in both 1974 and 1975. Accordingly, the Canadian Film Awards committee revived the Film of the Year category, which had not been used since 1970, so that it could name separate Best Picture winners for both 1974 and 1975.[1] In all other categories, however, separate winners were not named for the two years. There were 300 films in competition but French-Canadian filmmakers did not participate.[2]
