The 2025-26 Swiss Super League season marks a historic milestone as Switzerland’s top flight enters its 129th season under a new sponsor identity, the Brack Super League. Named after Swiss online retailer Brack.ch, this campaign promises drama, European ambitions, and fierce competition among 12 elite clubs.
FC Sion leads the table with maximum points, including impressive victories that have seen them score 12 goals in just 4 matches. Their attacking prowess, featuring key players like Winsley Boteli and Rilind Nivokazi, has been the standout story.
After five years in the Challenge League, FC Thun has made a statement return to the top flight with two consecutive victories. The promoted side sits in third place, proving they belong among Switzerland’s elite.
FC Basel, last season’s champions, find themselves in 7th place after a mixed start. Despite their 2-1 victory over Grasshoppers, their opening defeat has put early pressure on new coach Ludovic Magnin.
FC Basel has already secured their place in the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League play-off round, where it’ll face tough European competition in August.
