Notes

^ For unknown reasons, no Swedish Champions title was awarded between the 1926–27 and 1929–30 seasons.
^ ^a ^b Teams from a large part of northern Sweden, approximately above the province of Medelpad, were not allowed to play in the national league system until the 1953–54 season, and a championship was instead played to decide the best team in Norrland.
^ ^a ^b ^c ^d ^e ^f ^g ^h ⁱ ^j ^k ^l ^m ⁿ Tie breaker is goal average.
^ No teams from Uppsvenska Serien were allowed to be promoted to Allsvenskan, due to both geographic and economic reasons.
^ ^a ^b Skutskärs IF and IK Sirius who both finished last or second last in their respective leagues, and should have been relegated, were allowed to remain in Division 2.
