Notes

  1. ↑ No Swedish Champions title was awarded between the 1926–27 and 1929–30 seasons.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 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. ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 3.10 3.11 3.12 3.13 3.14 3.15 Tie breaker is goal average.
  4. ↑ Since extra time, aggregate score and the away goals rule was not used, a third match played on neutral ground decided the play-off.
  5. ↑ No teams from Uppsvenska Serien were allowed to be promoted to Allsvenskan, due to both geographic and economic reasons.
