The 2012 Tippeligaen season was the 68th season of top-tier football in Norway. The competition began on 23 March 2012 and ended on 18 November 2012, with a summer break from 28 May to 30 June.[2] The defending champions are Molde.[3]

At the end of the season, the two teams who were placed last (Fredrikstad and Stabæk) were relegated to the 2013 First Division and were replaced with Start and Sarpsborg 08 for the 2013 Tippeligaen. The team that finished third last, Sandnes Ulf, played a two-legged match against a challenger from Adeccoligaen, Ullensaker/Kisa. Sandnes Ulf won the play-off (0-4 in Ullensaker and 3-1 in Sandnes), and were not relegated.

Season summary

Strømsgodset were leading the league most of the season, but four matches before the end of the season there were three teams competing for the title. Rosenborg lost out on the title-race after losing to Strømsgodset and Molde.[4] Molde secured the title in the 29th round after they won 10 at home, while Strømsgodset lost 21 against Sandnes Ulf.

Stabæk were relegated after being positioned at the bottom of the table throughout the season. Ahead of the last round, four teams were fighting against relegation, but Fredrikstad lost their match against the league-winners Molde and were relegated, while Sandnes Ulf played promotion play-off against Ullensaker/Kisa.
