There are 14 clubs in the Norwegian Premier League, though there are plans to extend to 16. During the course of a season, each club plays the others twice, home and away, for a total of 26 games for each club, and a total of 182 games in a season. The season starts in early April and lasts until early November. Rounds played during the weekends are broken up into one game on Saturdays, five games on Sundays and one game on Mondays. Midweek rounds are broken up into six games on Wednesdays and one game on Thursdays. For the final two rounds, all games start simultaneously so that no club may gain an unfair advantage by knowing the results of other games in advance of kicking off their own.
