Øvrebø has refereed 205 matches in the [[Tippeligaen|Norwegian Premier League]] since his debut on [[September 20]], [[1992]]. In 1994 he became an authorised FIFA referee, and has refereed many matches in the [[UEFA Cup]] and [[UEFA Champions League]].

He was chosen to referee at [[Euro 2008]] - his first major tournament and the first time he was chosen over fellow countryman and colleague [[Terje Hauge]].
