The 1977–78 Swiss League Cup was the sixth edidition of the Swiss League Cup competition since its introduction in 1972. The first round was played in summer 1977 as a pre-season warm-up to the 1977–78 Swiss football season, the later rounds were played after the winter-break.

Overview

The League Cup had been created five seasons earlier to allow clubs from the top two tiers to compete in a tournament in advance of the league season, with the semi-finals and final played in the Autumn. But, in the passed few season, only the first round was played in advance of the season, the later rounds were played in the second half of the league season.

The matches were played in a single knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a penalty shoot-out was to decide which team qualified for the next round. No replays were foreseen.
