In the team events, Getingarna continued their dominance by winning Division 1 for the fifth consecutive season, thus being declared the winners of the Swedish Speedway Team Championship. Despite Arne Carlsson retiring and losing Leif Larsson for the season the Getingarna team recruited well by gaining Anders Michanek and Leif Enecrona to support Göte Nordin and Bengt Jansson.

The 1967 season saw the return of four divisions, with Dackarna rejoining after missing the 1966 season, along with three other clubs: Bysarna, Vikingarna and Solkatterna.
