SHL seasons

The 2025–26 SHL season was the 51st season of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). The regular season began on 13 September 2025, and concluded on 14 March 2026, where it was followed by the playoffs and the relegation playoffs.[7]

Skellefteå AIK finished top of the regular season standings for the first time in a decade,[8] finishing with 108 points and a 7-point margin over runners-up Frölunda HC, helped in part by top points scorer and most valuable player Oscar Lindberg, and an SHL record 10 shutouts for goaltender Strauss Mann.[9] Skellefteå AIK went on to complete the league and playoff double, defeating Rögle BK 4–1 to win their fifth playoff title,[6] with Lindberg again being the most valuable player – becoming the first player to win the Guldhjälmen and the Stefan Liv Memorial Trophy in the same season since Joakim Lindström did so in 2013–14, and the first player to win the Stefan Liv Memorial Trophy twice.[5][10]

HV71 won the Play Out for the third successive season, defeating Leksands IF in four consecutive games, relegating the latter after seven seasons in the SHL.[4]

Teams

The league consisted of 14 teams; Djurgårdens IF returned to the SHL after three seasons in the HockeyAllsvenskan, where they won the 2024–25 title.[11]

Modo Hockey were relegated to the HockeyAllsvenskan at the end of the previous season, after two seasons in the SHL.[12]

Regular season

Each team played 52 games, playing each of the other thirteen teams four times: twice on home ice, and twice away from home. Points were awarded for each game, where three points were awarded for winning in regulation time, two points for winning in overtime or shootout, one point for losing in overtime or shootout, and zero points for losing in regulation time. At the end of the regular season, the team that finished with the most points was crowned the league champion.

As Skellefteå AIK won both the league and the playoffs, and Frölunda HC won the 2025–26 Champions Hockey League, the two next highest-ranked teams – Växjö Lakers and Rögle BK – also qualified for the 2026–27 Champions Hockey League.

Playoffs

Ten teams qualified for the playoffs: the top six teams in the regular season had a bye to the quarterfinals, while teams ranked seventh to tenth met each other (7 versus 10, 8 versus 9) in a preliminary playoff round.[15]

Format

In the first round, the 7th-ranked team met the 10th-ranked team and the 8th-ranked team met the 9th-ranked team for a place in the second round. In the second round, the top-ranked team met the lowest-ranked winner of the first round, the second-ranked team faced the other winner of the first round, the third-ranked team faced the sixth-ranked team, and the fourth-ranked team faced the fifth-ranked team. In the third round, the highest remaining seed was matched against the lowest remaining seed. In each round the higher-seeded team was awarded home advantage. The meetings in the first round were played as a best-of-three playoff series, and in the later rounds as a best-of-seven playoff series. In the eighth-finals, the higher-seeded teams played at home for game 2 (plus 3 if necessary) while the lower-seeded teams played at home for game 1. In the later rounds, the higher-seeded teams were at home for games 1 and 3 (plus 5 and 7 if necessary) while the lower-seeded teams were at home for games 2 and 4 (plus 6 if necessary).[15]
