AIK won the league ahead of runners-up Helsingborgs IF, while BK Häcken and Östers IF were relegated. AIK won the title despite having the fewest goals (25) scored in the league. Of the 315 players who participated, fewer than half (147) were full-time professional footballers. Many were students, while just over a quarter (81) had full-time jobs outside football, although this proportion had substantially reduced from previous Allsvenskan seasons.Lundh Olof Olof Lundh Allsvenskan enligt Lundh: Makten, pengarna och tystnaden i svensk klubbfotboll 2018 Albert Bonniers Förlag 9789100175252 66 https://books.google.com/books?id=AvQ9DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT66 19 February 2021 Swedish 147 av de 315 spelarna var heltidsproffs.
