Format
editThere were 56 clubs in the 1. Liga, divided into four regional groups, each with 14 teams. Within each group, the teams would play a double round-robin to decide their league position. Two points were awarded for a win. The four group winners and the four runners-up contested a play-off round to decide the five promotion slots. The two last placed teams in each group were directly relegated to the 2. Liga (fourth tier).
The promotion round was played in two regional groups. The four top placed teams from groups 1 and 2 were in group West and the four top placed teams from groups 3 and 4 were in group East. Within each of these groups the teams contested another double round-robin. The first two teams in each group were directly promoted, while both the third placed teams had to contest a two-legged play-off, the winner of which was also promoted as fifth team to the 1981–82 Nationalliga B.
