Bandy Calendar 2026/2027: Full Schedule of Events, Cups, and League Starts

Edsbyns IF secured the Svenska Cupen 2026 title with a 10–3 victory over Bollnäs GoIF in the final at SBB Arena in Bollnäs. Edsbyn controlled the match from the opening half, building a decisive 6–2 lead by halftime following two goals from Albin Bysell Söderkvist, before ultimately cruising to the 10–3 triumph in the October 4 showdown.

Bandy Association Investigates Flashpoint Between Players

The lopsided scoreline unfolded in front of home supporters at SBB Arena where Edsbyn’s four-goal scorer Albin Bysell Söderkvist and Bollnäs player Simon Jansson became the center of a heated second-half flashpoint. Ordningsvakter were called out to posters near the team benches after Bysell Söderkvist skated past the penalty box and made remarks that prompted Jansson to yell, Hur fan kan du säga något sådant? The incident will be investigated by the bandy association, adding further tension to a fixture carrying a long and infected history, which previously included Bollnäs reporting Bysell Söderkvist ahead of an SM final for displaying images of Russia’s president Vladimir Putin in a Bollnäs kit.

Despite the defeat, Bollnäs fought hard, with coach Jocke Forslund noting in Bandypuls’ broadcast that his side showed determination long after the match was lost, pointing to small margins and Edsbyn’s superior efficiency. Edsbyns IF coach Daniel Skarps stated, Vi får träff i dag och när vi började få utdelning blev vi tunga, and later added regarding the victory, De yngre spelarna får en fantastisk erfarenhet. Det är en titel och den har vi vunnit nu. Det är klart att vi ska vara stolta över den. Men fokus ligger ändå på att vara bra när serien startar. Fans in the Red Farmers section celebrated the win by chanting, Vi älskar byn! After defeating Gripen Trollhättan BK 5–4 in the semifinals to reach the title match, Bollnäs ultimately failed to defend their cup championship.
