Qualifying teams' venues

In the Super League, the ten clubs competed against each opponent twice at home and twice away. In total, each team played 36 games. The first-placed wore the title of Swiss Champion 2019 and was given the chance to qualify for the group stage of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League via the play- offs (leg and leg) . The last placed was relegated to the Challenge League.

The second-placed team was given the chance to advance to the group stage of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League via two qualifying rounds. The teams in positions three and four of the championship were allowed to qualify for the group stage of the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League . The fifth-placed team was also given a starting place, as the cup winner was among the teams that had already qualified.

For the first time since the 2011/12 season, an extraordinary general assembly decided to reintroduce the barrage for the two highest leagues. Thus, in the future, the team played in 9th place against the runner-up in the Challenge League to stay in the Super League.
