From 1932 to 1953, the championship was played in one cup, regardless of the Allsvenskan season games . Until the 1989/1990 season, the Handbollsallsvenskan formed the top division.

The Elitserien consists of fourteen teams that compete against each other in home and return games, so each team plays at least 26 games per season. Following these games, a play-off final took place up to and including 2009 for the eight best teams in the elite series , in which the championship was determined. For the 1967/1968 season the final ( slutspel ) was introduced, which deny the two best teams in the play-offs. In the 2009/2010 season, the play-off was replaced by the Slutspelserien (German about: final game series). The best eight teams of the season games determine the semi-finals in two groups of four teams each. The last-placed team in the season games is relegated to the second division, the Allsvenskan, and the first-placed team in the second division is promoted directly to the Elitserien. The teams of the Elitserien in places 11 to 13 compete in the Kvalserien (German about: qualification series) against the teams in places 2 to 4 of the second division; the top three players play in the top division the following season.

Since the 2010/2011 season, the 14 teams have been divided between the North and South relays at the beginning of the season, in which each team competes once against each other. This increases the number of game days from 26 to 33.
