The 2024–25 Swiss Super League (referred to as the Credit Suisse Super League for sponsoring reasons) will be the 128th season of top-tier competitive football in Switzerland and the 22nd under its current name. It will be the second season featuring a new format and increased number of participants, since the beginning of the Super League era in 2003. Young Boys are the defending champions, having successfully defended their title in the previous season.

Overview

Format and Schedule

Since rebranding and restructuring the National League A to the Super League, starting with the 2003–04 season, the league has been running under the same format and the same number of teams until 2023. This is the second season to be played under the so-called Scottish Model and includes twelve participating teams.

The Swiss Football League (SFL) released a detailed schedule on 5 December 2023:

• The season will begin on 20 July 2024 and conclude on 24 May 2025.
• The league will go on winter break after matchday 18 on 15 December 2024 and resume on 18 January 2025. The final matchday of the relegation group will take place on, while the championship group will hold its last matches .
• The two legs of the relegation play-offs are scheduled for 27 and 30 May 2025, respectively.

The season is divided into two phases:

• In a first phase all twelve teams play each other three times each, for a total of 33 matchdays and concludes on 21 April 2025.
• Following that, the league is split into two groups of six each, one championship group and one relegation group. The second phase begins on 4 May 2025.
  • Each team will play every other team in their group one time (five matches each), for a total of 38 matchdays.
  • The championship group will play for the title of Swiss Football Champion and qualification for European championships. Final matchday is on 24 May 2025.
  • The relegation group will play against relegation (last place) and qualification for the relegation play-off (second-to-last place). Final matchday will be on 22 May 2025.
• Points won in the first phase are carried over to the second phase.
