The FC Basel 1926–27 season was their thirty fourth season since the club's foundation on 15 November 1893. The club's new chairman was Franz Rinderer. It was Rinderer's third period as chairman. He took over the presidency from Carl Burkhardt at the AGM. FC Basel played their home games in the Landhof in the district Wettstein in Kleinbasel.

Overview

Basel played a total of 32 matches in their 1926–27 season. 16 of these were in the domestic league, one was in the Swiss Cup and 15 were friendly matches. Of these 15 friendlies only two were played at home in the Landhof and 13 were away games, six in Switzerland, five in France and two un Germany. Eight of these games were won, one was drawn and six ended with a defeat.

An interesting match among these friendlies this season, was the away game against Bayern Munich. Not because of the result, because Basel were defeated 0–10, but because of the goalscorer Josef Pöttinger. Pöttinger was not only for his club, but also for the German national team, one of the most effective goal scorers of his time. On the 3 April 1927, as Basel played in Munich, Pöttinger scored a "perfect" hat-trick within the first 12 minutes (3', 10', 12') of the match and in the second half he scored five consecutive goals (52', 60', 62', 68', 83').[1]

This's season the Serie A was divided into three regional groups, each group with nine teams. Basel were allocated to the Central group together with local clubs Concordia Basel, Nordstern Basel and Old Boys Basel. The other teams allocated to this group were Young Boys Bern, FC Bern, Aarau, Grenchen and Solothurn. The teams that won each group continue to the finals and the last placed teams in the groups had to play a barrage against relegation. FC Basel played a mediocre season, winning eight matches, drawing three and suffering five defeats, scoring 29 goals and conceding 26. With 19 points they ended the season in fourth position, six points behind group winners Nordstern and the Young Boys, both of whom were level on points.

In the round of 64 in the Swiss Cup Basel were drawn against Old Boys, but were eliminated in this round because they lost the match 0–2.[2]
