This season, the three teams placing 12th, 13th and 14th will be relegated to the 1. divisjon, and the teams placing 9th, 10th and 11th will have to play a relegation playoff tournament.[2]
In the table below the home teams are listed on the left and the away teams along the top.[3]
Best of three format is applied in all play-off stages, with the higher seeded team playing the second and third game (if necessary) at home. If a game ended with a draw after the regular time, it will proceed to two 5-minutes periods of extra time. If there is still a draw, another 2 × 5-minutes extra time will be played. If the scores are still level after two extra times, the winners are decided by a 7-meter shootout.[4]
Top ranked teams from the regular season choose their opponents in the quarterfinal and semifinal stages.[4] The remaining two highest ranked teams after the quarterfinal stage can not meet in the semifinals.

To determine the last available spot in REMA 1000-ligaen, play-off matches are played between the teams that ended as 9th, 10th and 11th in REMA 1000-ligaen's regular season and the teams who finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the 1. divisjon. Double league matches are played, and the two best teams in the REMA 1000-ligaen play-off will remain in the league. The team who finish last in the REMA 1000-ligaen play-off head face to face with the winner of the teams from the First division play-off, in two final qualifying matches.[7] [8]
Tertnes Håndball Elite won series 2–1, and avoided from the relegation.
