The following is the summary of the Swiss National League in the 1967–68 football season, both Nationalliga A and Nationalliga B. This was the 71st season of top-tier and the 70th 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 1966–67 season and the two newly promoted teams FC Luzern and AC Bellinzona. The champions would qualify for the 1968–69 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 Winterthur and FC Moutier, the ten teams that had been in third to twelfth position last season and the two newly promoted teams FC Bern and FC Fribourg. The top two teams at the end of the season would be promoted to the 1968–69 NLA and the two last placed teams would be relegated to the 1968–69 Swiss 1. Liga.

Nationalliga A

The first round of the NLA was played on 19 August 1957. After playing 13 rounds, completed on 3 December, there was a winter break until the 14th round was held on 3 March 1968. The season had 26 rounds and was completed on 9 June 1968.

Championship play-off

Three teams finished level on points, therefore a play-off was required. The game GC-Zürich was played on 12 June in Bern, Lugano-GC on 19 June in Lausanne and Zürich-Lugano on 26 June in Zürich with the acceptation of Lugano. Before this final match it was already clear that FCZ were Swiss champions, as a win for Lugano would have left all three play-off finalists equal on the same number of points. In this case the goal difference from the regular championship was decisive. The match was therefore moved from Lausanne to Zurich. After the match, the trophy was presented by Federal Councillor Nello Celio under difficult conditions following a pitch invasion by fans.
