Overview
At this time, the Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV) had 14 member clubs and 22 clubs in the second-tier. In the second-tier, that was an increase of four clubs compared to the previous season and the 1. Liga would be stocked up to 24 clubs in the following season.
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 1935â36 1. Liga. Two teams from the second tier 1. Liga would achieve promotion this season.[1]
Nationalliga
The league season began with the first matchday on 26 August 1934 and was concluded with the last round on 26 May 1935.
