Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 The Swedish Football Association licensing committee denied—after the season's end—Örebro SK the licence needed (Elitlicensen) to play in Allsvenskan the next season due to the club's economic situation and they were thus relegated to Superettan 2005. Assyriska Föreningen, although losing the qualification play-off, were promoted in their place as the 3rd team in Superettan.
- ↑ After the season's end it was disclosed that Örgryte IS had played the away match against GIF Sundsvall with four non-EU/EEA players, one more player than the rules allowed. The result in the match was changed from 1–1 to a 0–3 loss. This had a positive effect on GIF Sundsvall which thus advanced one position in the final table.
