The 1977-78 Austrian Football Championship was organized by the Austrian Football Association. The single-track 2nd Division served as a substructure to the 1st Division. The Regionalliga East (Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland), the Alpenliga (Salzburg, Tyrol) and the regional leagues of Vorarlberg, Carinthia, Upper Austria and Styria served as the third level.

FK Austria Wien became Austrian football champions for the 12th time. SV Austria Salzburg was promoted.

Due to the fact that the national team had qualified for the World Championships in Argentina, the original schedule was changed. It was played in winter, starting on January 14th (20th round). This was extremely unusual for Austria. Austria and Rapid played their home games in Vienna's most modern stadium, the Weststadion, (opened in spring 1977). The stadium was closed in November 1977 due to serious construction defects. They had to play in the Horrstadion (Austria) and the old Rapid home ground (Pfarrwiese).
