Heavyweight meeting directly in the Allsvenskan premiere

Swedish champion Mjällby against second-placed Hammarby in the opening match. Allsvenskan 2026 begins with a real summit meeting.

Mjällby won an equally controversial and overwhelming Swedish Championship gold medal in football last fall. The closest challenger, Hammarby, was ultimately 13 points behind.

"Bajen" will have a chance for revenge in the opening round of next season.

Hammarby–Mjällby is the match that stands out when the 2026 men's Swedish Championship kicks off during the Easter weekend.

Round 1 also includes a West Swedish derby in the form of Elfsborg–IFK Gothenburg as well as a newcomers' meeting when Kalmar FF takes on Västerås.

The third newcomer, Örgryte, starts at home against Malmö FF.

The entire round (April 4–6): AIK–Halmstad, Hammarby–Mjällby, Gais–Djurgården, Örgryte–Malmö FF, Häcken–Brommapojkarna, Elfsborg–IFK Gothenburg, Degerfors–Sirius, Kalmar FF–Västerås.
