Notes
- ↑ No Swedish Champions title was awarded between the 1926–27 and 1929–30 seasons.
- 1 2 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.
- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Tie breaker is goal average.
- ↑ Since extra time, aggregate score and the away goals rule was not used, a third match played on neutral ground decided the play-off.
- ↑ No teams from Uppsvenska Serien were allowed to be promoted to Allsvenskan, due to both geographic and economic reasons.
