Notes

^ ^a ^b There existed no regular promotion and relegation in the national leagues at this time. Teams were excluded, relegated, admitted or promoted to a league on other bases than their finishing position the season before.
^ Two matches ended in walkovers for the away team, IFK Stockholm–IFK Gävle and IFK Stockholm–Sandvikens AIK, these matches have been counted as 0–0 but two points to the away teams. The reason for IFK Stockholm not playing their two last home matches was to protest against playing league matches during the summer.
^ ^a ^b ^c ^d Tie breaker is goal average.
^ The match IFK Uddevalla–GAIS was never played as GAIS had already won the league.
^ Vänersborgs IF joined the league after it had started but withdrew after four rounds, their four match results are not included in the table of the other teams.
^ ^a ^b A final replay was played as the first final ended in a draw. Djurgårdens IF did not want to play any extra time after this replay and the referee declared Örgryte IS as winners, but his decision was later overruled by the Swedish Football Association. A second final replay was then played as the both earlier finals ended in draws.
^ Mariebergs IK replaced Djurgårdens IF which should have played in the final, but they instead played a match in Svenska Serien on the day of the final.
