The 2006–07 Süper Lig was the 49th edition of the top-flight professional football league in Turkey. The season kicked-off on 4 August 2006 in a match between Ankaraspor and Galatasaray, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Fenerbahçe became champions after drawing Trabzonspor 2-2, while Beşiktaş lost 3-0 to Bursaspor and Galatasaray draw 1-1 with Sivasspor. Kayseri Erciyesspor gained qualification to the UEFA Cup due to Beşiktaş's qualification to the Champions League Second Qualifying Round.
Since Turkey dropped from eleventh to fifteenth place in the UEFA association coefficient rankings at the end of the 2005–06 season, the cup winner (or the 3rd-placed team if the domestic cup winner already qualified for UEFA Champions League) will not directly be entered into the 1st round of the UEFA Cup, but rather have to begin in the second qualification round.
