The 2006 Division 1 season was the 41st of the competition of the first-tier football in Senegal. The tournament was organized by the Fédération Sénégalaise de Football (Senegalese Football Federation).[1] The season began on 5 January and finished on 15 July. AS Douanes won their third title. AS Douanes along with Port Autonome would compete in the 2007 CAF Champions League the following season. US Ouakam who won the 2006 Senegalese Cup participated in the 2007 CAF Confederation Cup, along with US Gorée. Compagnie sucrière sénégalaise, last place of Group A relegated to the second division with 14 points as they had a penalty that cost them three points by an undetermined reason, US Rail, last place of Group B was relegated with only 9 points.

The season would feature 18 clubs. 274 matches (256 in the first phase and 18 in the second phase) were played and 244 goals were scored, slightly less than half less than last season, the average goal of the first phase was one goal per match or less. Yet again since the 1990s, the season would feature the first and second phases, the first phase featured the group system with a total of 128 matches for each group, the second or final phase would consist of four clubs (instead of a playoff as did in the 1990s) with a total of 18 matches, each club played a total of six matches and the highest number of points would decide the season's champion.
