Statistics of the Swiss National League in the 1994–95 football season. This was the final season in which two points were awarded for a win; going forward this changed to three points.

Overview

[edit]

The 28 teams of the Swiss Football League (Nationalliga) were divided into two divisions. There were 12 teams who played in the Nationalliga A (NLA), the top-tier. There were 16 teams in the Nationalliga B (NLB), the second tier, these were divided into two groups, a West group and an East group. Each team in each group played a double round-robin in the qualification phase. Thereafter the divisions were divided into a Swiss championship group, a NLA/NLB promotion/relegation group, each group with eight teams, and a relegation group NLB/1. Liga, here with the remaining 12 teams. Because the format in the following NLB season would be reduced from two groups to just one group of only 12 teams, there were two be six relegations from the NLB to the 1. Liga (third tier).

Relegation group NLB/1. Liga

[edit]

The last six teams in each of the two qualification phase groups competed in the relegation group against relegation to the 1. Liga. The teams all entered the phase in one sole group. The teams took half of the points (rounded up to complete units) gained in the qualification as bonus with them. As the NLB was to be reduced to one single group the following season, six teams would be relegated to the 1995–96 Swiss 1. Liga. This stage began on 25 November 1994 and was completed on 17 June 1995.
