The season started on 21 July 2006, with the game in Kyiv, Dynamo - Chornomorets 4–1. The last day of the competition was 17 June 2007. The winner of the championship was declared Dynamo Kyiv acquiring their record-extending 12th title defeating the reigning champion Shakhtar Donetsk, who were the two-time defending champions.
