Notes

  1. ^ For unknown reasons, no Swedish Champions title was awarded between the 1926–27 and 1929–30 seasons.
  2. ^ 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.
  3. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n Tie breaker is goal average.
  4. ^ IS Halmia who finished second last in their league, and should have been relegated, were allowed to remain in Division 2.
