Overview

Founded in 1963, the league has served as the pinnacle of Swedish baseball ever since. [2] The league typically features six teams, though the exact number has varied over time.

League Format

During the regular season, teams compete for playoff berths and the chance to win the Elitserien Cup Championship. [3]

At the season’s conclusion, the team finishing last must contest a relegation playoff against the top team from the Regional Series.
