1976-77 Austrian football championship

The 1976-77 Austrian Football Championship was organized by the Austrian Football Association. The single-track Nationalliga served as a substructure to the Bundesliga. The Regionalliga East (Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland) and the regional leagues of Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg, Carinthia, Upper Austria and Styria served as the third performance level. SSW Wacker Innsbruck was able to become Austrian football champions for the fourth time.

The merger between Austria Wien and Wiener AC was dissolved at the end of the season. Rapid played a large part of its home games (until the opening of the Weststadion on May 10, 1977) at Wiener Sport-Club Platz.

The Bundesliga was contested by 10 teams. They met four times throughout the entire season. The first and second legs were played on consecutive match days, in order to attract more audiences through the idea of 'revenge'.
