Teams
The league consists of 14 teams; HV71 returned to the SHL after one season in the HockeyAllsvenskan, where they won the 2021–22 title.[1] Djurgårdens IF were relegated to the HockeyAllsvenskan, and as a result, Stockholm was not represented by a top-division team for the first time.[2]

Points are awarded for each game, where three points are 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 finishes with the most points is crowned the league champion.[citation needed]
