The following is the summary of the Swiss National League in the 1958–59 football season, both Nationalliga A and Nationalliga B. This was the 62nd season of top-tier and the 61st 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 1957–58 season and the two newly promoted teams Zürich and Luzern. The champions would qualify for the 1959–60 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, Winterthur and Biel-Bienne, the ten teams that had been in third to twelfth position last season and the two newly promoted teams Vevey-Sports and Aarau. The top two teams at the end of the season would be promoted to the 1959–60 NLA and the two last placed teams would be relegated to the 1959–60 Swiss 1. Liga.
