Overview
There were further changes in the league system in advance of this season. There were now 22 clubs that competed in the 1. Liga. That was an increase of four clubs compared to the previous season. The 1. Liga would be stocked up to 24 clubs in the following season.
The 22 clubs were divided into two regional groups, each with 11 teams. The teams in each group played a double round-robin to decide their league position. Two points were awarded for a win and one point was awarded for a draw. Both group winners were promoted to the top-tier Nationalliga, but they then contested a play-off round to decide the title of 1. Liga champions. The last placed team in each group were directly relegated to the 2. Liga (third tier).
