The2006–07 season of theBelgianFirst Division began on July 28, 2006, and concluded on May 19, 2007. The championship was decided in the penultimate round on May 12, 2007, whenAnderlecht moved five points clear of runners-upGenk to retain the title and win their 29th League Championship. At the other end of the table, the struggle to avoid automatic relegation went on until the final round, and it wasLierse who eventually prevailed. Having spent the entire season at the bottom of the standings and only just managing to close an eleven-point gap up to 17th, theLier side won their last game to climb pastBeveren and send the latter down to theSecond Division. However, Lierse went on to lose theplayoffs and was relegated anyway.
Eighteen teams played in the 2006-07 first division. Twelve teams were fromFlanders, four clubs fromWallonia and just two clubs from theBrussels-Capital Region.
La Louvière had been relegated at the end of the previous season withMons replacing them as they won theBelgian Second Division.Lierse had managed to win thepromotion playoff and thus they remained in the first division.
