All statistics correct as of 16 June 2024.

The 2024 Norwegian First Division (referred to as OBOS-ligaen for sponsorship reasons) is a Norwegian second-tier football league season.

The season started on 1 April 2024 and is scheduled to end on 9 November 2024, not including play-off matches.[1]

2024 marked Lyn's return to the second tier following an absence since 2010, coinciding with Vålerenga being relegated from the first tier. The Oslo Derby between the two at Ullevaal stadion in April notably broke the attendance record for the First Division. The standing record was 17,284, a number that was surpassed by pre-match ticket sales already two weeks ahead of the match.[2] The figure ended at 25,103, far exceeding the former record.[3]
