The Swiss 2.Liga is the fifth highest league in Switzerland, after the National League A, the National League B, the MySports League, and the Swiss 1.Liga.

The top teams are promoted to the Swiss 1.Liga and the bottom teams are relegated to the Swiss 3.Liga.

Format

The 2.Liga is divided in three divisions: Ostschweiz or Orientale (East Switzerland; OS), 13 teams; Zentralschweiz (Central Switzerland; ZS), 12 teams and Suisse Romande (Romandie, SR).

The champions of the three divisions are promoted to the 1.Liga. Since the 2003-04 season, the Romande Division has been divided into two groups - Group 5 and Group 6 - with the winners of the groups facing one another in a promotion series for a spot in the 1.Liga.
