On 20 October, the winner of Damallsvenskan was settled, when FC Rosengård netted one point in the league table and gained an impregnable lead with one remaining round against then relatively new closest competitor Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC.^[1] This is their 10th win of Damallsvenskan, the first club to achieve that. They immediately put a star on top of their emblem to mark this.^[2] Vittsjö GIK had held the second place for some time but failed to hold on to it at the end.

Notes: ¹ According to each club information page previously available at the Swedish Football Association website for Damallsvenskan.^[4] Since May 2018 this is no longer present.
² Kungsbacka DFF's home arena is really Tingbergsvallen, but because it didn't meet the requirements for Damallsvenskan, and SvFF did not grant dispensation, where particularly the lack of lightning was deemed unacceptable considering all games are broadcast, they had to relocate their games to Påskbergsvallen about 50 km away, in Varberg, instead.^[5][6][7][8]
