The table has been compiled by Clas Glenning using reliable sources. Thanks to Luc Nackaerts and Dinant Abbink for supplying most of the information on which the table is based. Also thanks to "Bogdan from Ukraine" & Stefan Weber. Note that Nationalliga A and B was played in two separate halves 1987/88 up to 2002/03 wherebye the four last teams were relegated from Nationalliga A after the fallseason. If a team only played the first half of the season in Nationalliga A then that is only counted as half a season for that particular team. That is why some teams do not have a whole number of seasons in their seasontotal. THIS TABLE WAS COMPLETELY OVERHAULED DURING THE SUMMER OF 2018. You are free to copy this page in a non-commercial capacity, but please state the source, i.e. Clas Glenning.

 1897/98 was an unofficial championship and is therefore not counted here.  1901/02: 4 games unplayed in the Central group.  1902/03: 4 games unplayed in Group East. Also, Fortuna Basel were  disqualified, after having played 5 games in the Central group, after some  incidents after the home game against Old Boys Basel. The five games are  counted here as they were that in the official table.  1903/04: International Zürich withdrew from the Group East before the season.  The season is not counted in their totals, as they didn't play any games.  1906/07: One game, between FC Zürich and Blue Stars St Gallen, was  unplayed in the East group.  1909/10: Grasshopper Club Zürich played only the first round of matches in the  East group.  1912/13: The game FC Aarau - Montriond Lausanne (original score 5-4) was  replayed following a protest from the latter. The original game was  stricken from the record.  1914/15: The semifinal between FC Aarau and Brühl St. Gallen which ended 3-2,  was replayed following a protest from Brühl. The latter subsequently won  the replay 8-1 (which is the result counted in the table, as the original  match was declared null and void following the protest).  1917/18: FC Baden a) withdrew before start or b) played games that for some  reason were declared null and void. It's unclear what is the state of  affairs.  1918/19: 14 games were unplayed in the West group.  1922/23: In the Central group: FC Basel - FC Bern (original score 0-4) was  awarded 3-0 as Bern used an ineligible player. Likewise, the game FC Biel vs.  FC Bern (original score 3-0) was awarded 0-3 as Biel used an ineligible  player. Young Boys Bern (the winner of the Central group) withdrew from the  playoff match against FC Bern after they had won the Central group on equal  points, which meant that FC Bern were allowed to participate in the finals  as winner of the Central group. The altered scores above changed the final  table of the Central group so that Young Boys was the sole winner. But by  then the championship finals had already been played and there was no time  to stage a new championship final, subsequently no Swiss champion was  declared this season.  1930/31: 45 games unplayed in all the groups (15 each in West, Central and  East respectively).   1931/32 & 1932/33: During these seasons the 2nd level champions were  allowed to participate in the 1st level championship playoffs. Lausanne- Sports actually won the championship 1931/32 when at 2nd level!  1932/33: The so called Challenge National is not counted.  1983/84: The championship playoff game between Grasshoppers and Servette is  counted in the tables.  1995/96: Three points for a win was introduced.  2002/03: FC Luzern had two points deducted for irregularities in  license application.  2004/05: Servette had three points deducted for financial irregularities. They went  bankrupt during the winter break and did not play the 2nd half of the season. However, the 18 games  they did play were counted in the official table.  2011/12: Neuchatel Xamax were relegated to 5th level due to bankruptcy. Their 1st round  of matches were counted but the 2nd round games were cancelled.  2011/12: Sion were deducted 36 points for fielding ineligible players.  Lausanne Sports have also played under the name Montriond Lausanne.  FC Biel-Bienne have also played under the names Vereinigte FC Biel and FC  Biel, respectively.  Montreaux-Sports have also played under the name Montreaux Narcisse.  FC Fribourg prev. Stella Fribourg (thanks to Stefan Weber for the info).  Villa Ouchy Lausanne later called FC Stade Lausanne-Ouchy.  Urania Genève Sports is a merger of FC Urania and FC Genève.   Questions, suggestions, clarifications? email me at: clas.glenning@gmail.com
