  1. ^ 1.0 1.1 1.2 The round 15 fixture between Rosenborg and Lillestrøm was abandoned due to fan protests against VAR. The game was stopped multiple times by fans throwing objects onto the pitch, as part of nationwide fan protests against VAR and its implementation in Eliteserien. After objects were thrown a fourth time referee Rohit Saggi decided to abandon the match. The teams were forced by NFF to replay the match without spectators.
  2. ^ KFUM Oslo played some home games at Intility Arena.
  3. ^ Kristiansund played some home games at Aker Stadion.
  4. ^ Bodø/Glimt play with a captaincy team who decide between themselves who will be the captain on a game-by-game basis, Patrick Berg is the most common choice. The full team consists of Ulrik Saltnes, Jostein Gundersen, Sondre Sørli, Patrick Berg, Sondre Brunstad Fet, Jens Petter Hauge and Brede Moe.[2]
