In total, including the test games and the cup competition, they scored 141 goals and conceded 55.{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/bilanz?saison=1945/46 | title = Bilanz Saison 1945/46 | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | access-date = 2019-11-16}}

Basel had suffered relegation the previous season and their clear aim was to obtain immediate promotion. The Nationalliga B was contested by 14 teams. The two teams that finished at the top of the division were to be promoted and the two teams that finished in last and second last position in the league table would be relegated. Basel played a good season, winning 19 league matches, drawing five, losing only two matches. Thus they ended the season with 43 points in 1st position four points ahead of Urania Genève Sport in 2nd position and these two clubs won promotion.{{cite web | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/rangliste?saison=1945/46 | title = Rangliste 1945–46 Nationalliga B | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | access-date = 2019-11-16}}
