The format was similar to 1964-72, with the best six gymnasts in the team all-around advancing to the apparatus final, with the final apparatus score made up of 50% of the all-around total and a final optional program. However, nations were now limited to only two gymnasts in the finals. Nikolay Andrianov was the leader of the Soviet team in 1976 and won the gold medal in this event, just ahead of his teammate, Aleksandr Dityatin, who would succeed Andrianov as Soviet team leader, and win the gold medal on rings in 1980. Romanian Dan Grecu won the bronze medal, the first medal ever won by a Romanian man in Olympic gymnastics. Grecu and Andrianov had shared the gold medal on rings at the 1974 World Championships.
Top six in individual all-around, maximum of two per nation, advanced to the individual apparatus finals.
