The 1978–79 season was FC Zürich's 82nd season in their existence, since their foundation in 1896. It was their 20th consecutive season in the top flight of Swiss football, following their promotion at the end of the 1957–58 season. They played their home games in the Letzigrund.
The club's president at this time was Edwin Nägeli, who had held this position since 1957. The German Friedhelm Konietzka had been the first team head coach over the last seven seasons, since 1971, but his contract was no longer extended and he left the club to become head-coach of Young Boys. The Yugoslav and Croatian Zlatko Čajkovski was appointed as new head-coach for the FCZ first team. FCZ competed not only in the domestic first-tier 1978–79 Nationalliga A, but also competed in 1978–79 Swiss Cup and in the 1978–79 Swiss League Cup. They also entered into the 1978 Intertoto Cup, but the team had not qualified for the UEFA European competions.
