Notes

1 2 3 Since extra time, aggregate score and the away goals rule was not used, a third match played on neutral ground decided the play-off.
↑ 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.
