The season began on 5 April and ended on 27 November 2021, not including play-off matches. Restrictions enforced by the government due to the Covid pandemic made the Norwegian football association to postponed the start several times and the league is currently to start on 9 May.
Bodø/Glimt were the defending champions. Tromsø and Lillestrøm joined as the promoted clubs from the 2020 1. divisjon. They replaced Aalesund and IK Start who were relegated to the 2021 1. divisjon.
Teams[]
Sixteen teams compete in the league – the top fourteen teams from the previous season, and two teams promoted from 1. divisjon. The promoted teams were Tromsø and Lillestrøm, both returning to the top flight after an absence of just one year. They replaced Aalesund and IK Start, both relegated after a season's presence.
