Notes

1 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.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Tie breaker is goal average.
↑ Since extra time, aggregate score and the away goals rule was not used, a third match played on neutral ground decided the play-off.
↑ No teams from Uppsvenska Serien were allowed to be promoted to Allsvenskan, due to both geographic and economic reasons.
1 2 3 4 IK Sirius, Uddevalla IS, IF Heimer and Varbergs GIF who all finished last or second last in their respective leagues, and should have been relegated, were allowed to remain in Division 2.
