In a first phase, the championship is played as a round-robin tournament (qualification). Each team plays one home and one away game against the other teams. (18 laps)
If a game is not decided after 60 minutes, there is ten-minute extra time. If no goal is scored, the match will be decided in a penalty shootout. A win after 60 minutes gives three points, a win after overtime or a penalty shootout gives two points, a defeat after extra time or penalty shootout one point, and a defeat after 60 minutes no point.
Play-offs / play-outs
Following qualification, the eight best teams will determine the Swiss champions in play-off style. The last two teams in the qualification determine in the playouts the team that has to play against the champions of National League B to stay in the league. In all rounds of the play-offs, as well as in the play-outs and in the relegation games, the best-of-three mode is used.
