The men's football team played in the Third Division, the fourth tier of Norwegian football from 1997 to 2002. The club does not currently field a senior team, only some children's teams. The clubs had good ski jumping hills and good trails for cross-country skiing. On 4 July 1954 Løkken IF opened a decent field for football and track and field. In 1997 the track was demolished, as an artificial turf was paid for by the local corporation, Orkla. The speed skating arena is Granatjønna. (en)
