The 32 teams from Allsvenskan and Superettan were seeded and will play against the 32 winners from round 1, the matches will be played at the home venues for the unseeded teams. The 16 northernmost seeded teams were drawn against the 16 northernmost unseeded teams and the same with the southernmost teams.[1]

The draw for the second round was held on 7 July 2016,[4][7] and the matches will be played on 24 and 25 August 2016, but some matches may be moved to a later date depending on participation in 2016–17 UEFA Champions League and 2016–17 UEFA Europa League.[1][2][6] The number in brackets indicates what tier of Swedish football each team competed in during the 2016 season.

Group stage

The 32 winners from round 2 will be divided into eight groups of four teams. The 16 highest ranked winners from the previous rounds will be seeded to the top two positions in each groups and the 16 remaining winners will be unseeded in the draw. The ranking of the 16 seeded teams will be decided by league position in the 2016 season. All teams in the group stage play each other once, the highest ranked teams from the previous rounds and teams from tier three or lower have the right to play two home matches.[1]

The group stage will begin on 18 February and conclude on 5 March 2017.[2]
