Overview
This season's cup competition began with the games of the first round, played on the week-end of the 9 and 10 September 1961. The competition was completed on Easter Monday 23 April 1962, with the final, which was traditionally held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The clubs from the 1961–62 Swiss 1. Liga were given a bye for the first round, they played in the second round on the week-end of 23 and 24 September. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga A (NLA) and from this season's Nationalliga B (NLB) were given byes for the first two rounds. These teams joined the competition in the third round, which was played on the week-end of 21 and 22 of October.
The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would establish the team qualified for the next round. The cup winners qualified themselves for the first round of the Cup Winners' Cup in the next season.

Whenever possible, the draw respected local regionalities. The first round was played on the weekend of 9 and 10 September 1961.
