The series consists of 14 teams playing a regular season in which each team play each other team four times, twice at home and twice away. This is followed by a series of promotion and relegation tournaments, with the teams finishing first through tenth participating in promotion playoffs, and the teams finishing 13th and 14th forced to requalify to avoid relegation to the Hockeyettan. 
The 2022–23 would see four teams change in the Division, HV71 departing as reigning 2022 HockeyAllsvenskan champions and promoted to the SHL. Longtime SHL club, Djurgårdens IF suffering relegation from the top division, IF Troja-Ljungby returning to the HockeyEttan after only one season in the Allsvenskan and the inclusion of Östersunds IK after winning the 2022 HockeyEttan playoffs.
