The 2006 Columbus Crew season was the club's 11th season of existence and their 11th consecutive season in Major League Soccer, the top flight of soccer in the United States. The first match of the season was on April 1 against Kansas City Wizards. It was the first season under head coach Sigi Schmid.
This season is notable for being the first of MLS legend Kei Kamara's career, one which would have him play for a league-record 11 teams by 2025.
