Notes

1. No Swedish Champions title was awarded between the 1926–27 and 1929–30 seasons.
2. Tie breaker is goal average.
3. 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.
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.
