Notes

^ No Swedish Champions title was awarded between the 1926–27 and 1929–30 seasons.
^ ^a ^b ^c ^d ^e ^f ^g ^h ⁱ ^j Tie breaker is goal average.
^ 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.
^ ^a ^b Since extra time, aggregate score and the away goals rule was not used, a third match played on neutral ground decided the play-off.
