Overview

edit

There were 32 member clubs in the Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV), 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). In both divisions the teams played a double round-robin to decide their table positions. The Swiss champions would qualify for the 1985–86 European Cup, the runners-up and third placed team would qualify for the 1985–86 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.[1]

Nationalliga A

edit

The first round was played on 15 August 1984. There was to be a winter break between 9 December and 2 March 1985. The season was completed on 19 June 1986.
