European participation

For the first time since the 2002-03 season, the Danish clubs had obtained enough UEFA coefficient points to qualify the third place finisher of the Danish Superliga 2006-07 for the UEFA Cup. Prior to this, only the second place finisher would qualify, alongside the Danish Cup winner and the occasional Intertoto qualifier.
