Teams

edit

The 2017–18 season saw two new clubs in the league, Yverdon Sport FC and FC Stade Lausanne-Ouchy which were all promoted from the 1. Liga Classic. No club was relegated from the Challenge League as FC Le Mont didn't get their league licence by the Swiss Football Association and subsequently relegated.
