The 2007 Chinese Super League season or the Kingway Chinese Super League, as it was known for sponsorship reasons, was the fourth edition since its establishment, the 14th season of professional football as well as being the 46th top-tier league season in China. The league started on March 3 and ended on November 14. Changchun Yatai clinched the league title for the first time in the last game of the season, while Xiamen Lanshi was relegated with two games to spare. Coincidentally, both of these teams were promoted in the previous season.

The champions as well as the runner-up of the league would qualify for the 2008 AFC Champions League as was the same from the previous season. The Chinese FA Cup was canceled due to the intended expansion of the league to 16 teams, however Shanghai United and Shanghai Shenhua merged, which saw the Chinese Football Association decide to leave the league with 15 teams for the season.
