Ernst August Künnecke was the first team manager. He had taken over from Rainer Ohlhauser, who had been manager for just one year. Basel played in the 1983–84 Nationalliga A. Basel ended the season in ninth position, 16 points behind Grasshopper Club Zürich who became champions for the second consequetive year. In their 30 league games Basel won eleven matches, drew six and lost thirteen. Basel obtained 28 points, scored 55 and conceding 59 goals.

Basel entered into the Swiss Cup in the round of 64 and here they were drawn away against local lower league club FC Birsfelden. The match was a one sided affair and Basel won 8–0. In the round of 32 they had a home fixture against Luzern but were beaten 0–3. The cup season was beended for Basel because the Swiss League Cup was not competed this year and because they were not qualified for European competitions, nor did they enter the Coppa delle Alpi.
