The 2006–07 A Group was the 59th season of the Bulgarian A Football Group since its establishment in 1948 and the 83rd of a Bulgarian national top football division.

The league was contested by 16 teams, thirteen returning from the 2005–06 season and three promoted from the B Group. Levski Sofia won the championship.

Changes from last season

Three teams were relegated at the end of the 2005-06 season: Pirin 1922 Blagoevgrad, Naftex Burgas, and FC Pirin Blagoevgrad. The latter was disqualified for financial reasons after the first two rounds.

The relegated teams were replaced by Spartak Varna and Rilski Sportist Samokov, the two regional winners of B PFG. Spartak Varna make an immediate return to the top tier, while Rilski Sportist return after a 3 year absence. A further place was decided through a one match playoff, between Conegliano German and Maritsa Plovdiv. Conegliano won the match 3-2 and promoted for the very first time.
