1963-64 Austrian football championship

The **1963-64 Austrian football championship**   was organized by the Austrian Football Association. The regional leagues East (Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland), Central (Upper Austria, Styria, Carinthia), and West (Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg) served as the foundation for the State League A. The state leagues of the federal state associations served as the third level.

Rapid was able to replace the three-time serial winner Austria as Austrian football champions and reached their 23rd title.  SVS Linz, 1. Simmeringer SCand  FC Dornbirn were relegated. SC Wacker Wien, SK Sturm Graz and   FC Wacker Innsbruck were promoted for the 1964-65  season.The first rounds of the spring season were marked by cancellations and severe scheduling constraints. The president of the State League therefore proposed canceling the ÖFB Cup.  This was rejected by the majority of clubs. The 17th round, scheduled for March 7/8, was completely cancelled due to the unusability of the pitches due to snow.
