The last two teams in the table at the end of the season were to be relegated. Basel won nine of their 26 games and drew six times and lost eleven times. They scored 59 goals and conceded 53. Basel ended the championship with 24 points in 9th position. They were 19 points behind Young Boys who were able to defend their championship title. At the end of the league table Urania Genève Sport and FC Winterthur ended the season joint second last, each with 18 points, and therefore they had to play a relegation play-off. Urania won the play-off and therefore Winterthur suffered relegation together with FC Biel-Bienne who had finished in last position.
