The following is the summary of the Swiss National League in the 1950–51 football season, both Nationalliga A and Nationalliga B. This was the 54th season of top-tier and the 53rd season of second-tier football in Switzerland.

Overview

The Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV) had 28 member clubs at this time which were divided into two divisions of 14 teams each. The teams played a double round-robin to decide their table positions. Two points were awarded for a win and one point was awarded for a draw. The top tier (NLA) was contested by the top 12 teams from the previous season and the two newly promoted teams Cantonal Neuchâtel and Young Boys. The last two teams in the league table at the end of the season were to be relegated.

The second-tier (NLB) was contested by the two teams that had been relegated from the NLA at the end of the last season, these were Bern and St. Gallen, the ten teams that had been in third to twelfth position last season and the two newly promoted teams from the 1. Liga Winterthur and Concordia. The top two teams at the end of the season would be promoted to the 1951–52 NLA and the two last placed teams would be relegated to the 1951–52 Swiss 1. Liga.

Play-out against relegation

Locarno and Grenchen ended the season level on points in joint twelfth/thirteenth position. Therefore, a play-out against relegation was required to decide the relegation slot. The decider match was played on 21 June at the Letzigrund in Zürich. Locarno won and remained in the division for the next season. Grenchen were relegated to 1951–52 NLB.
