About Danish 1st Division
The Danish 1st Division, known as the NordicBet Liga for sponsorship reasons, is the second tier of professional soccer in Denmark. It's a 12-team competition that runs from July through May. The league is in the final stretch, with promotion and relegation battles heating up.
Top teams
The Danish second division is a mix of fallen giants, ambitious clubs, and youth development teams. OB (Odense Boldklub) are the defending champions after winning the 2024-25 title and securing promotion to the Superliga. This season, clubs like Viborg FF, FC Fredericia, and Sønderjyske are pushing for the top spots. Aalborg Freja, HB Køge, and FC Helsingør are the other regular contenders. The league has a mix of full-time professional clubs and semi-professional teams, which makes the promotion race unpredictable.
Format
The league has 12 teams. They play each other twice in the regular season. Then the top six go into a promotion round, and the bottom six go into a relegation round. The top two teams at the end of the season get promoted to the Danish Superliga. The bottom two go down to the Danish 2nd Division. The format is designed to keep things competitive all the way to the end.
Viewership
The Danish 1st Division pulls around 1 million viewers annually. The numbers are strongest in Denmark, especially in the cities where clubs are fighting for promotion. The league doesn't have a huge international following, but it gets attention from scouts looking for talent. The promotion playoff games draw the biggest audiences.
TV options in Denmark
Coverage in Denmark is split between two broadcasters. Viaplay and their linear channel TV3 Sport carry the majority of matches. TV2 Sport also shows a selection of games under the shared rights deal that runs through 2030 [citation:4]. The rights are split 50-50 between the two broadcasters for the Superliga, and the 1st Division follows a similar pattern. There's no free-to-air coverage for the regular season. If you want to follow the league in Denmark, you need a subscription to either Viaplay or TV2 Play.
Streaming options in the US and Worldwide
For fans outside Denmark, there's no official international streaming service for the 1st Division. The Danish league doesn't have a global deal like the bigger European leagues. Your best bet is Viaplay with a VPN to access the Danish service. Some matches also show up on YouTube through club channels or unofficial streams. Betting sites like NordicBet sometimes stream matches, but that's not reliable. For hardcore fans, a VPN and a Viaplay subscription is the most consistent option.
Current season
The 2025-26 Danish 1st Division season kicked off in July 2025. The regular season is wrapping up in April, with the promotion and relegation rounds starting in May. Viborg FF and FC Fredericia are sitting at the top of the table, pushing for automatic promotion. OB are already back in the Superliga after winning the title last season. The promotion race is tight, with four teams separated by just a few points. The season wraps up in June.
