Nationalliga A (women's football)

The Women's Nationalliga A is the highest-level league competition for women's football clubs in Switzerland. It was established in 1970.

League winners qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League. The teams that end as number 11 and 12 relegate to the Nationalliga B.

Format
Starting with the 2010–11 season, a play-off system was adopted. After the regular season, where the teams play each other twice, the top 8 teams play a final round which decides the champion. The two last placed teams and the winners of both Nationalliga B play each other twice. The top 2 teams of that group will stay in the Nationalliga A with the bottom 2 playing in next season's Nationalliga B. Tiebreakers in the playoffs are points and then better regular season standings.

For the 2017/18 season the league is reduced from 10 to 8 teams to increase competitiveness. The eight teams play each other four times. The leading team then is champion.
