The '''1996–97 Swiss 1. Liga''' was the 65th season of this league since its creation in 1931. At this time, the [[Swiss 1. Liga (football)|1. Liga]] was the third tier of the [[Swiss football league system]] and it was the highest level of amateur football.
==Format==
There were 56 clubs in the 1. Liga, divided into four regional groups of 14 teams. Within each group, the teams would play a double [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] to decide their league position. The four group winners and the four runners-up then contested a play-off for the two promotion slots. The two last placed teams in each group were directly relegated to the [[2. Liga (Switzerland)|2. Liga]] (fourth tier). The four third-last placed teams would compete a play-out against the ninth relegation place.

The '''1996–97 Swiss 1. Liga''' was the 65th season of this league since its creation in 1931. At this time, the [[Swiss 1. Liga (football)|1. Liga]] was the third tier of the [[Swiss football league system]] and it was the highest level of amateur football.
==Format==
There were 56 clubs in the 1. Liga, divided into four regional groups of 14 teams. Within each group, the teams would play a double [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] to decide their league position. The four group winners and the four runners-up then contested a play-off for the two promotion slots. The two last placed teams in each group were directly relegated to the [[2. Liga (Switzerland)|2. Liga]] (fourth tier). The four third-last placed teams would compete a play-out against the ninth relegation place.
