2020 season

On January 6, Skeid signed Gard Holme as the new head coach following the relegation from OBOS-ligaen in 2019. Skeid also lost 8 players from the most used starting lineup in 2019 (some signed by other clubs while others hanged up their boots), and due to a strict economy Skeid signed new players from 2. and 3. divisjon. The season was put on hold at the start of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and did not start until July. When it first started it was with a reduced schedule, with the 14 teams in the division facing each other once, with the top 7 teams going into a Promotion Playoff, while the bottom 7 teams would be going into a Relegation Playoff. During the season Skeid played home games at 3 different venues due to problematic circumstances regarding the artificial turf at Nordre Åsen. Therefore, Skeid played some home games at Valhall Arena and LSK-Hallen. Skeid ended the regular season in 3rd place in the table and therefore qualified for the Promotion Playoff. Skeid ended the playoffs in 2nd place and qualified for a double header with Asker. After 1-1 in both games, the last game went to a penalty shootout, and Asker were victorious with the score 4-2, and ended Skeid's season. Many supporters saw the season in total as a success, due to the loss of key players before the season started, the signing of a new head coach and the trouble with the home ground.
