2020 Norwegian Third Division

The 2020 3. divisjon (referred to as Norsk Tipping-ligaen for sponsorship reasons) was scheduled to be a fourth-tier Norwegian football league season. The league was supposed to consist of 84 teams divided into 6 groups of 14 teams each[1] and should have begun on 13 April 2020.[2]

The league should have been played as a double round-robin tournament, where all teams would play 26 matches.

In mid-July it was decided to bar all B teams ("2" teams) from promotion. As reserve players in professional clubs, they would have had the chance to train since May 2020, whereas the amateur teams were not allowed to train all spring and summer as a precaution during the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway.[3]

The 2020 season was cancelled on 18 September.[4]
