Championship Playoff:

Grasshoppers- FC Basel 4-3 aet


Relegation Playoff:
------------------
FC Sion-FC Fribourg 1-0  
Grasshopper won their 16th title, but first one since 1956. It was difficult victory – in decisive extra match and only in overtime – and perhaps a bit unfair, for their finished second in the regular season.
