Teams

edit

28 teams contest the league divided into two division, Norra and Södra. 19 returning from the 2014 season, three relegated from Superettan and six promoted from Division 2. The champion of each division will qualify directly for promotion to Superettan, the two runners-up has to play a play-off against the thirteenth and fourteenth team from Superettan to decide who will play in Superettan 2016.
