According to sources, Magnus Eriksson tested working as a football expert for SVT during the second half of last season, while playing for FC Stockholm in Division 1. His playing career is now finished. He is now confirmed as an expert for SVT for the entire 2026 season.
Eriksson will work mainly with SVT's Allsvenskan coverage, including in Fotbollsstudion, but also appear in other contexts. The specific other contexts he will appear in beyond Allsvenskan coverage have not been detailed. He will already participate in SVT's broadcast of the women's national team's World Cup qualifier from Italy on Tuesday.
It's going to be really fun! It's fun to be on this side of it and I'm looking forward to the new season.
Eriksson expressed enthusiasm for his new role, saying, "It's going to be really fun! " He added, "I really burn for Allsvenskan. " Regarding the upcoming Allsvenskan season, Eriksson commented, "It's interesting with many revenge-hungry teams.
I think Malmö will be dangerous and also Hammarby. " He believes Malmö or Hammarby will win Allsvenskan. On Sweden's World Cup qualification prospects, Eriksson stated, "My highest wish is that we do it, but I don't think so.
I really burn for Allsvenskan. It's the world's best league so I'm looking forward to a fun season.
" He does not believe Sweden will qualify for the World Cup, though the specific playoff final he refers to is unclear.
It's interesting with many revenge-hungry teams. I think Malmö will be dangerous and also Hammarby. So Malmö or Hammarby.
My highest wish is that we do it, but I don't think so. I think we get knocked out after a tough battle in a playoff final.
I say Spain.
