Notes

1. Fässbergs IF who won their qualification play-off and which were supposed to replace Landskrona BoIS who finished last in their league, were not allowed promotion to Allsvenskan and it was decided that Landskrona BoIS would be given Fässbergs IF's spot.
2. Tie breaker is goal average.
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.
4. No teams from Uppsvenska Serien were allowed to be promoted to Allsvenskan, due to both geographic and economic reasons.
5. Falu IK, IFK Arboga, Skara IF and Falkenbergs GIK who all finished last in their respective leagues, and should have been relegated, were allowed to remain in Division 2.
6. One match ended in a walkover for the home team, Skara IF–IK Virgo, this match has been counted as 0–0 but two points to the home team.
7. This replay was played as the first 3rd place match ended in a draw even after extra time had been added.
