Liga was the 45th season of this league since its creation in 1931. At this time, the 1. Liga was the third tier of the Swiss football league system and it was the highest level of amateur football. Format There was a modification to the 1. Liga taking place at this time. The 1. Liga had been increased from 39 clubs, in three groups last season, to 48 clubs for the beginning of this season. These 48 teams were divided into four regional groups, each group with 12 teams. Within each group, the teams would play a double round-robin to decide their league position. Two points were awarded for a win. The four group winners and the four runners-up contested a play-off round to decide the two promotion slots. At the end of the season the number of clubs was to be increased to 56 in four groups of 14 teams and, therefore, in this season only the last placed team from each group was to be relegated to the 2. Liga (fourth tier). From the following season onwards two teams from each group were to be relegated.
