The 2007 season kicked off on the weekend of 2 February 2007 at the Galpharm Stadium. For the first time, the league had a staggered start due to the World Club Challenge between St. Helens and Brisbane Broncos. The first round of matches began on the weekend of 9 to 11 February 2007.
St. Helens were defending Super League champions and Challenge Cup holders. Hull Kingston Rovers played in the Super League for the first time ever after being promoted from National League 1 in 2006. This season also included the first Millennium Magic weekend, which took place on the weekend of 5 and 6 May 2007 in Cardiff.
Super League XII featured 12 teams and had 27 rounds including the Millennium Magic round. St Helens, Leeds Rhinos, Bradford Bulls, Hull FC, Huddersfield Giants and the Wigan Warriors qualified for the end of season play-offs and the Salford City Reds were relegated to National League One.
The first weekend of the play-offs saw both Bradford Bulls and Huddersfield Giants defeated narrowly by both Wigan Warriors and Hull F.C. respectively. The second weekend of the play-offs saw St. Helens defeat Leeds Rhinos and get an instant passageway into the grand final whilst Wigan Warriors overcame Hull F.C. at the KC Stadium to set up a semi final encounter with Leeds Rhinos. The semi final saw Leeds Rhinos easily dispose of a tired Wigan Warriors side that had come from sixth and saw Leeds Rhinos enter the grand final against St. Helens in which they won convincingly to lift the Super League trophy for 2007.
