2006-07 Austrian football championship

The **2006-07 Austrian football championship** was the 95th season of the top league in Austria. FC Red Bull Salzburg won the title for the fourth time (3 as SV Austria Salzburg). The telecommunications company T-Mobile was the main sponsor of the league.

## Mode

The Bundesliga was contested by 10 teams. They met four times throughout the season.

## General

The season was overshadowed by the bankruptcies of the two Graz clubs. SK Sturm and GAK were both given penalty points by the Bundesliga during the current season (Sturm 13, GAK 28). GAK was already relegated to the First League. From a purely sporting perspective, Wacker Tirol would have been relegated.
