Haugesund, Strømsgodset, and Kongsvinger lead the 2026 OBOS-ligaen table with four rounds remaining, separated by just three points after 26 matches each. Haugesund sits first on 59 points following a late surge that included a 3-0 win over Lyn, while Strømsgodset’s 5-1 victory over Kongsvinger restored a two-point cushion for second place. All three sides were recently relegated from Eliteserien and carry strong attacking records, with Haugesund and Strømsgodset boasting superior goal differences. Kongsvinger’s recent dip and tougher remaining schedule have shifted the direct-promotion race toward the top two, though the third-placed side still qualifies for promotion play-offs against the 14th-placed Eliteserien team. Recent form, fixture congestion, and any late injuries will determine final standings before the November 8 conclusion.
