Relegation group NLB/1. Liga
The last six teams in each of the two qualification phase groups competed in the relegation group against relegation to the 1. Liga. The teams all entered the phase in one sole group. The teams took half of the points (rounded up to complete units) gained in the qualification as bonus with them. As the NLB was to be reduced to one single group the following season, six teams would be relegated to the 1995–96 Swiss 1. Liga.
