Overview
In 2009, the number of teams in the Norwegian Premier League expanded from fourteen to sixteen.[1] Therefore, 2008 was a transitional season, in which more teams were promoted to the top flight, and fewer teams relegated to the Norwegian Second Division, than usual.
From 2009, the First Division winners and runners-up earn automatic promotion. A new playoff system was also introduced in the 2009 season, involving the teams finishing third, fourth and fifth in the First Division, and the team finishing third from the bottom in the Premier League. Teams three and four will play against each other, and face the winner of team five versus team fourteen from the Premier League. Promotion is awarded to the winning team. The four teams finishing at the bottom of the after ended season will be relegated to the Second Division.
NRK has the 2009 broadcasting rights for the Norwegian First Division, and all First Division games are available as free video-streaming on the company's website.
