1999–2000 Division 1 season (Swedish ice hockey)

1999–2000 was the first season that Division 1 functioned as the third-level of ice hockey in Sweden, below the second-level Allsvenskan and the top-level Elitserien (now the SHL).

Format

The league was divided into four regional groups. In each region, the top teams qualified for a promotion round for the opportunity to be promoted to the Allsvenskan. The bottom teams in each group were forced to play in a relegation round in order to retain their spot in Division 1 for the following season. These were also conducted within each region.
