In 2006 he was picked for one of the eight spots in the Norwegian World Cup team. He made his debut in the Grand Prix season on 4 August, in Hinterzarten, where he finished 7th in the team competition (with Tom Hilde, Lars Bystøl and Roar Ljøkelsøy). On 5 August, he was eighth; on 14 August, in Courchevel, he was fourth; on 24 August, in Zakopane he was seventh; on 30 September, in Klingenthal, he was sixth; on 4 October, in Oberhof, he was tenth. He was tenth in the Grand Prix, with 184 points.

After Daniel Forfang's retirement he remained in the current Norwegian squad. He made his debut in the 2006/07 Ski jumping World Cup in Kuusamo on 24 November 2006, with a third place.

Jacobsen won four World Cup events that season, including the Innsbruck event on 4 January 2007 on his way to becoming overall winner of the 2006-07 Four Hills Tournament.
