Overview The Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV) had 16 member clubs in the top-tier and 18 clubs in the second-tier. The ASF/SFV had modified the format in the top-tier. Up until here the clubs had been divided into two regional groups and then conclusively with a championship play-off. This was the first season that the Nationalliga was played in one national group and with now 240 games nearly twice as many as in the previous season (124).

The first placed team at the end of the season would be awarded the Swiss championship title and the last three placed teams were to be relegated to the 1934–35 1. Liga.
