The 2023 Eliteserien was the 79th season of top-tier football in Norway. This was the seventh season of Eliteserien after rebranding from Tippeligaen. Bodø/Glimt were crowned the champions at the end of the season, winning their 3rd Norwegian league title.
The season started on 10 April 2023 and ended on 3 December 2023, not including play-off matches.[1]
Molde were the defending champions. Brann and Stabæk joined as the promoted clubs from the 2022 Norwegian First Division. They replaced Kristiansund and Jerv who were relegated to the 2023 Norwegian First Division.
Sixteen teams competed in the league – the top fourteen teams from the previous season, and two teams promoted from the First Division. The promoted teams were Brann and Stabæk, both returning to the top flight after a season's absence. They replaced Kristiansund and Jerv, ending their top flight spells of six years and one year respectively.
