Opened in 1875, the station is owned and operated by Swiss Federal Railways. It forms part of the Jura railway (Basel SBB–Biel/Bienne), and is also the junction for the Delémont–Delle railway, a cross-border link with France.

The Delémont roundhouse, located within the station yard, is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance (class A).[4]
