The season started on 1 April 2024 and ended 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 previous record was 17,284, a number that was surpassed in ticket sales already two weeks ahead of the match.[2] The final figure is disputed[a] with the figures of 24,003 and 25,103 both being used, in either case far exceeding the former record.[3]
