The seventh edition of the Türkiye Futbol Şampiyonası (Turkish Football Championship) was held in 1940. After five years of interruption, it was resumed in 1940 with a special format. In that year the National League (introduced in 1937) was also played, which included the top ranked clubs of the three major regional leagues of İstanbul, Ankara, and İzmir. The champions of the regional leagues not included in the National League played in regional groups again, such as in the 1930's. The winners of these regional groups played against each other in a play-off, with the winner of that play-off qualifying for the final. The final was contested between 1940 National League champions Fenerbahçe and the champions of the regional groups Eskişehir Demirspor.
