Overview

The Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV) was expanded during the 1980–81 season from 28 to 32 member clubs. These were divided into two tiers of 16 teams each. The top tier was named Nationalliga A (NLA) and the second tier was named Nationalliga B (NLB).

The format in both divisions was that the teams played a double round-robin to decide their table positions. Each club playing every other club twice (home and away) for a total of 30 rounds. Two points were awarded for a win and one point was awarded for a draw. The Swiss champions would qualify for the 1982–83 European Cup, the runners-up and third placed team would qualify for the 1982–83 UEFA Cup. The last two placed teams in the NLA were relegated to the NLB for the following season. The top two placed teams in the NLB would be promoted to the top tier. The last three teams in the NLB were relegated to next season's 1. Liga and would be replaced by the best three teams from this season's 1. Liga.[1]

Nationalliga A

The top-tier, Nationalliga A (NLA), was contested by the top thirteen clubs from the previous season and three sides promoted from the second level 1980–81 Nationalliga B, these being Vevey-Sports, FC Aarau and FC Bulle. The first round was played on 15 August 1981. There was a winter break between 5 December and 27 February 1982. The season was completed on 9 June 1982.
