2013 Kvalserien

The 2013 Kvalserien was the 39th Kvalserien, consisting of two Elitserien (SHL) teams and four HockeyAllsvenskan teams. It began on 14 March 2013 and ended on 5 April 2013. The 2013 Kvalserien determined which two teams of the participating ones would play in the 2013–14 SHL season and which four teams would play in the 2013–14 HockeyAllsvenskan season.

For the first time since 2006, neither of the two Elitserien teams – Timrå IK and Rögle BK – managed to defend their spot in the top-tier league. Instead, HockeyAllsvenskan teams Örebro HK and Leksands IF took the two available spots for the 2013–14 SHL season. Örebro went undefeated in regulation time throughout the ten games and secured promotion in the seventh round (of ten), while Leksand secured their SHL spot in the following round. Örebro promoted to the SHL for the first time in club history (another Örebro team, Örebro IK, last played in the Elitserien in 1978–79), while Leksand returned to the SHL for the first time since the 2005–06 season. Timrå were relegated to HockeyAllsvenskan for the first time since 2000, while Rögle's return to Elitserien lasted for only one season.
