The following is the summary of the Swiss National League in the 1935–36 football season. This was the 39th season of top-tier football in Switzerland.
Overview For this season, the Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV) had 14 member clubs and 24 clubs in the second-tier. However, it had been decided to modify the format, the number of clubs would be reduced in the top-tier within two years, 13 next season and 12 in the following. From then onwards the format would remain unchanged.
The 14 top-tier teams played a double round-robin to decide their league table positions. Two points were awarded for a win and one point was awarded for a draw. The first placed team at the end of the season would be awarded the Swiss championship title and the last two placed teams would be relegated to the 1936–37 1. Liga. Only one team from the second tier 1. Liga would achieve promotion this season.
Nationalliga The league season began with the first matchday on 25 August 1935 and was concluded with the last round on 17 May 1936.
