Notes

  1. ^ 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 o p 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.
