Allsvenskan and Elitserien (bandy)

Allsvenskan (bandy) is the second-highest division of Swedish bandy, directly below Elitserien. It serves as the primary feeder league for Elitserien, and teams can be promoted to Elitserien based on performance in Allsvenskan playoffs or qualification series. Allsvenskan typically consists of multiple geographically-based groups or leagues, with the top teams from each group competing for promotion. The exact structure and number of groups can vary from season to season. Relegation from Allsvenskan typically leads to play in a regional division of bandy.

Elitserien (bandy) is the highest division of Swedish bandy. It is the premier bandy league in Sweden and features the top teams in the country. Elitserien operates on a promotion and relegation system with Allsvenskan. The winner of Elitserien is crowned Swedish champion. The league typically consists of a round-robin regular season, followed by playoffs to determine the champion. Performance in Elitserien determines qualification for international bandy competitions.
