1986-87 Austrian football championship

The **1986-87 Austrian football championship**  was organized by the Austrian Football Association The top-flight First Division and the second-tier Second Division were merged this season through a playoff format. The third tier consisted of the Regionalliga East (Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland) and West (Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg), as well as the regional leagues of Carinthia, Upper Austria and Styria.

Rapid won the Austrian football championship for the 28th time this season. VfB Mödling , 	First Vienna FC 1894, Grazer AK, SK Austria Klagenfurt were promoted from the Intermediate play off for the 1987-88 season.

## Mode

The championship in the 1st and 2nd Divisions was initially contested in the fall with 12 teams. Each team initially played 22 matches. The teams were then divided into the **Champion play off** (1st to 8th in the 1st Division), the **Intermediate play off**  (9th to 12th in the 1st Division and 1st to 4th in the 2nd Division) and the **Relegation play off** (5th to 12th in the 2nd Division) for the spring championship. This meant that the Masters Playoff determined the champions and European Cup berths, the Intermediate play off determined promotions and relegations between the 1st and 2nd Divisions.  Relegation Playoff determined teams relegated to the regional and state leagues. Games, goals, and points were carried over into the spring for the Masters and Relegation Playoffs.
