The 2006–07 season was Ergotelis' 77th season in existence, first season in the Super League following the club's promotion as champions of last year's Beta Ethniki, and second season overall in the competition. Ergotelis also participated in the Greek Cup, entering the competition in the Fourth Round. The club managed to achieve its pre-season goal to stay clear of relegation, finishing 9th overall and thus secured its participation in next year's edition of the top football competition in Greece. Furthermore, Ergotelis advanced to the Greek Cup round of 16 (fifth round) for the second consecutive time before being eliminated by Greek giants PAOK.
