The top tier of Norwegian football has existed as a one-league top flight since 1963. The league was renamed Eliteserien for the start of the 2017 season. [1] The following page details the football records and statistics of the Norwegian top flight since 1963.
These figures do not take into account the 2020 and 2021 seasons, when many matches had an attendance of zero due to public health measures adopted to control the COVID-19 pandemic.
