Notes

1. No Swedish Champions title was awarded between the 1926–27 and 1929–30 seasons.
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.
3. 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.
