The following is the summary of the Swiss National League in the 1964–65 football season, both Nationalliga A and Nationalliga B. This was the 68th season of top-tier and the 67th 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 1963–64 season and the two newly promoted teams Lugano and Bellinzona. The champions would qualify for the 1965–66 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, FC Schaffhausen and Cantonal Neuchâtel, the ten teams that had been in third to twelfth position last season and the two newly promoted teams FC Le Locle and FC Baden. The top two teams at the end of the season would be promoted to the 1965–66 NLA and the two last placed teams would be relegated to the 1965–66 Swiss 1. Liga.

The Swiss champions received a slot in the 1965–66 European Cup and the Cup winners received a slot in the 1965–66 Cup Winners' Cup.

Nationalliga A

The first round of the NLA was played on 22 August 1964. After playing 13 rounds, on 20 December, there was a winter break. This lasted until 20, 21 February 1965 as the 14th round was held. The season had 26 rounds and was completed on 12 June 1965.
