This was the 79th season of top-tier and the 78th season of second-tier football in Switzerland. Overview The Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV) had 28 member clubs at this time which were divided into two divisions of 14 teams each. The teams played a double round-robin to decide their table positions. Two points were awarded for a win and one point was awarded for a draw. The top tier (NLA) was contested by the top 12 teams from the previous 1974–75 season and the two newly promoted teams Biel-Bienne and La Chaux-de-Fonds. The champions would qualify for the 1975–76 European Cup. The second and third placed teams were to have qualified for UEFA Cup, but because Zürich won the double, cup runners-up Servette advanced to the 1976–77 Cup Winners' Cup and the third and forth placed teams advanced to the 1975–76 UEFA Cup. There was to be a reform of the Swiss football league system at the end of this season. The number of teams in the top tier (NLA) was to be reduced from 14 to 12 and the second-tier (NLB) would increase from 14 to 16 teams. Therefore, this season would see three teams relegated from the NLA and only one team promoted from the NLB. Lugano and the two newly promoted teams, Biel-Bienne and La Chaux-de-Fonds, suffered relegation. Because two teams ended the NLB level on points, a promotion play-off was required. Bellinzona won this play-off against Luzern to achieve promotion.
