The 2006–07 Swiss 1. Liga was the 75th season of this league and, at this time, was the third tier of the Swiss football league system. The 1. Liga was the highest level of amateur football, although a number of teams had professional or semi-professional players in their ranks.
Format
There were 48 teams in this division this season, including eight U-21 teams which were the eldest youth teams of the professional clubs in the Super League and the Challenge League. The 1. Liga was divided into three regional groups, each with 16 teams. Within each group, the teams would play a double round-robin to decide their positions in the league. The three groups winners and three runners-up, together with the two best third placed teams, then contested a play-off for the two promotion slots. The U-21 teams were not eligible for promotion and could not compete the play-offs. The two last placed teams in each group was relegated to the 2. Liga Interregional.
