Regular season Several changes due to the ongoing COVID-19-pandemic had effect on this season. The first plan was the season would only be half-played, and no teams would directly be relegated to the First Division. Changes also applied to the Championship play-offs and order of the teams in the play-offs to First Division. On 19 April, these plans were cancelled and changed yet again. Now, only one match will be played, and the winner of the match between Vipers Kristiansand and Storhamar HE will determine the winner of the league. The other placings will be adjusted to their average placement. No teams will be relegated to the First Division and from the First Division, meaning 2021–22 REMA 1000-ligaen will consist of 14 teams and the First Division of 11 teams next season. All play-offs are cancelled. The qualification for the Women's EHF Champions League and the Women's EHF European Cup will be given to the teams selected, based on results of the current season, previous season and the current season's Norwegian Cup, but mainly based on the previous season.
