Team changes
- After finishing second in the qualification for the 2018-19 season, Ringerike Panthers qualified for the GET-liga, replacing Kongsvinger Knights who finished fourth.
- Due to long-term economic problems, Lørenskog IK failed to receive a professional license to play in the GET-liga[1]. The vacant spot was offered first to Narvik IK[2], then to Kongsvinger Knights[3], who both declined the spot.
Arenas
Since Nye Jordal Amfi will not be completed until the 2020–21 season[4], Vålerenga will use Furuset Forum as a temporary arena the whole season.[5]
Lillehammer will repeat their Winter Classic success in Håkons Hall from the 2017-18 season, when they played Storhamar in front of a record crowd of 10,031.[6] The match is scheduled to November 17, 2018.[7]
