The 2007–08 A-League was the 31st season of top-flight soccer in Australia, and the third season of the A-League competition since its establishment in 2004. Football Federation Australia hoped to build on the success of the previous two seasons and on the interest generated by Sydney FC and Adelaide United playing in the 2007 AFC Champions League, and the Socceroos competing in the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.

Based on their A-League 2006-07 season performances Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory competed in the 2008 AFC Champions League, making it two consecutive seasons in the competition for Adelaide United. Based on the 2007–08 season of the A-League, the Central Coast Mariners and Newcastle Jets qualified for the 2009 AFC Champions League, as the competition's Premiers and Champions respectively.

Changes included:

  • The New Zealand Knights, who folded at the conclusion of the 2006–07 season, were replaced by Wellington Phoenix.{{cite news|url=http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,21407148-5000940,00.html|title=Kiwis alive as Townsville pulls pin|work=Fox Sports|date=19 March 2007|access-date=19 March 2007}}
  • An increase of the squad size, from 20 to 23 players, increasing the salary cap from A$1.6 million to A$1.8 million.{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/soccer/the-time-is-right-to-go-into-the-refs-book/2006/12/30/1166895525216.html|title=The time is right to go into the ref's book|publisher=The Age|date=31 December 2006|access-date=24 January 2007}}{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/Sport/ALeague-lifts-its-salary-cap-to-18m/2007/04/23/1177180562411.html|title=A-League lifts its salary cap to $1.8m|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=23 April 2007|access-date=23 April 2007}}
