Allsvenskan (English: The All-Swedish), also known as Fotbollsallsvenskan (English: The Football All-Swedish) is a Swedish professional league for men's association football clubs. It was founded in 1924, and is the top flight of the Swedish football league system, operating on a system of promotion and relegation with Superettan. Seasons run from late March or early April to beginning of Novembe.
Since 2008 there are 16 clubs in Allsvenskan. During the course of a
season each club
plays the others twice (home and away) for a total of 30 games. The two
lowest placed teams at the end of the season are relegated to Superettan
and the top two teams from Superettan are promoted in their place. The
third lowest team in Allsvenskan plays a relegation/promotion play-off
against the third placed team in Superettan.
The winners of Allsvenskan qualify for the UEFA Champions League, the runner-up together with the third placed team in the table qualify for the UEFA Europa League as well as the team who wins the Svenska Cupen.
