You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''2016 [[Tippeligaen]]''' was the 72nd completed season of top-tier [[Association football|football]] in [[Norway]]. The competition began on 11 March 2016. Due to the [[UEFA Euro 2016|2016 UEFA European Championship]], there was a break between the rounds played on 29 May and 3 July. The decisive matches of the home-and-away season were played on 6 November 2016. A promotion/relegation play-off between the third-from-bottom team of the Tippeligaen and the winner of the promotion play-offs of the [[2016 1. divisjon]] was contested on 30 November and 4 December 2016.<ref name=matchdates>((cite web|title=Hovedterminliste menn 2016|trans-title=Main schedule men's football 2016|url=http://www.fotball.no/Documents/Bilder/NFF/2015/NFF-nyheter/hovedterminliste%20menn%202016%20oppdatert.pdf|website=fotball.no|publisher=[[Football Association of Norway]]|access-date=26 November 2015))</ref>

The league was contested by 16 teams: the 13 best teams of the 2015 season; the two teams who won direct promotion from the [[2015 1. divisjon]], [[Sogndal Fotball|Sogndal]] and [[SK Brann|Brann]]; and [[IK Start|Start]], who won the promotion/relegation play-off finals against [[FK Jerv|Jerv]].

The 2016 season was the last season the league was named ''Tippeligaen''. The league changed its name to ''Eliteserien'' ahead of the [[2017 Eliteserien|2017 season]], a non-sponsor affiliated name controlled by the [[Football Association of Norway]].

==Teams==
Sixteen teams competed in the league – the top fourteen teams from the previous season, and two teams promoted from [[2018 1. divisjon|1. divisjon]].
