* 24 October 2004: Örgryte IS wins 3–0 against AIK, which means that AIK will be relegated to Superettan. The match was played with empty terraces due to the behaviour of the AIK supporters the previous round.
* 30 October 2004: Malmö FF wins their 15th title after passing Halmstads BK in the last round of Allsvenskan as they beat IF Elfsborg 1–0 while Halmstad, that would have taken the gold with a win, only managed to play 1–1 against IFK Göteborg.
* 8 November 2004: The licensing committee of the Swedish Football Association denies Örebro SK the licence needed (called "Elitlicensen") to play in Allsvenskan due to the club's bad economy. Örebro SK immediately appeals against the decision.
* 11 November 2004: The first round of the first edition of Royal League is played. The four top teams from Sweden, Norway and Denmark compete to win the title Scandinavian Champions.
* 3 December 2004: Örebro SK's appeal is denied, and they will play in Superettan the 2005 season.
