season</b> was the 56th season of FIFA-sanctioned soccer in the United States and Canada, and the 1st with a national first-division league with the inaugural season of the NASL. </p><p>The NASL was formed this year as a merger between the former top division soccer leagues, the <a href="/wiki/United_Soccer_Association" title="United Soccer Association">United Soccer Association</a> along with the <a href="/wiki/National_Professional_Soccer_League_(1967)" title="National Professional Soccer League (1967)">National Professional Soccer League</a>. In the inaugural year, the <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Chiefs" title="Atlanta Chiefs">Atlanta Chiefs</a> were the champions, by winning the NASL Final 3–0, in a two-game aggregate over the <a href="/wiki/San_Diego_Toros" title="San Diego Toros">San Diego Toros</a>. While the Chiefs were the champions for the season, the premiers for this season were the Toros, who obtained the highest point total.<sup id="cite_ref-sover1968_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sover1968-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1968_North_American_Soccer_League_season&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Overview"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>17 teams competed in this inaugural season, and the <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Chiefs" title="Atlanta Chiefs">Atlanta Chiefs</a> won <a href="/wiki/NASL_Final_1968" title="NASL Final 1968">the championship</a>.

Oakland had won every competition in the NPSL's 1967 season, but were denied a chance to defend their title in the merged league because of this unique points system. </p> <ul><li>8 came from the
