The 2006-07 season of the Romanian Liga I began on July 28, 2006 and ended on May 23, 2007.

Clubs

Eighteen teams played in the Liga I 2006-07. Four teams were from Moldova, four clubs from Transylvania, one from Dobrogea and nine from Wallachia four of them coming from the country's capital city Bucharest.

New Teams

Pandurii Târgu-Jiu had been relegated at the end of the previous season but they re-entered Liga I at the expense of Sportul Studenţesc which has been relegated to Liga II due to financial problems. The other four new teams which gained access to Liga I were Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ and Universitatea Craiova (both winning two of the three series of Liga II), plus Unirea Urziceni (wninning the play-off for Liga I) and UTA Arad which bought the place from CF Liberty Salonta (winner of the 3rd serie of Liga II)
