The following is the summary of the Swiss National League in the 1957–58 football season, both Nationalliga A and Nationalliga B. This was the 61st season of top-tier and the 60th 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 1956–57 season and the two newly promoted teams Biel-Bienne and Grenchen. The champions would qualify for the 1958–59 European Cup and 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, Zürich and Schaffhausen, the ten teams that had been in third to twelfth position last season and the two newly promoted teams Concordia and Sion. The top two teams at the end of the season would be promoted to the 1958–59 NLA and the two last placed teams would be relegated to the 1958–59 Swiss 1. Liga.
