Summarize
Perspective
Kolbotn were promoted from the 2023 First Division.[2] Arna-Bjørnar were originally relegated from the 2023 Toppserien, but were allowed to stay in the league after Avaldsnes had their sporting license revoked for economic mismanagement, resulting in their relegation instead.[3]
