Notes
  1. ^ The 1939–40 season was abandoned mid-season because of World War II, and does not count towards the total amount of seasons played in the first tier.
  2. ^ There was no league football between 1940 and 1947 due to World War II
  3. ^ Viking played one more match vs. the other group winner. Viking won the match, and thus won the championship.
  4. ^ The 1987 season saw the introduction of three points for a win.
  5. ^ The 2020 Norwegian Football Cup was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway.[1]
