It was founded in 2014 and is the top flight of the domestic futsal league system.

Seasons run from October to March, with the 12 clubs all meeting each other twice, before the best eight teams compete in a play-off to decide the Swedish champion.

It was not until ten years later, in 2005, that the first competition was played with official futsal rules, but it consisted of several regional tournaments.

In 2014, the Swedish Football Association bought the rights to Svenska Futsalligan, which had been started in 2006 as a private league.

From 2019–20 and onwards, Svenska Futsalligan has been played with 12 clubs, where the eight best teams compete in a play-off to decide the Swedish champion.
