Regular season

Usually, the team placing 12th will be relegated to the 1. divisjon, and the teams placing 9th, 10th and 11th will have to play a relegation playoff tournament.[3] However, since next season will consist of 14 teams, only the team placed 12th will have to play relegation playoff matches this season, against the team placed 3rd in First Division.[4]

Championship play-offs

Best of three format is applied in all play-off stages, with the higher seeded team playing the first and third game (if necessary) at home. If a game ended with a draw after the regular time, it will proceed to two 5-minutes periods of extra time. If there is still a draw, another 2 × 5-minutes extra time will be played. If the scores are still level after two extra times, the winners are decided by a 7-meter shootout.[7]

Top ranked teams from the regular season choose their opponents in the quarterfinal and semifinal stages.[7] The remaining two highest ranked teams after the quarterfinal stage can not meet in the semifinals.
