Fixture details
Sarpsborg Stadion hosts Aalesund on Sunday, October 25, 2026, with kick-off at 5:00 PM. The Eliteserien fixture is the second of two home games in quick succession. Rosenborg visit on October 18, and Aalesund follow a week later.
The match is not played yet, so this is a look ahead at what the evening holds for supporters and what is at stake in the table.
What the table says
After 22 matches, Sarpsborg 08 FF sit ninth in Eliteserien with 28 points. That is level on points with KFUM Oslo in tenth, and only one point behind Fredrikstad and Brann, who both have 29. Ham-Kam are one place lower with 26 points, and Sandefjord have 24. The middle of the table is tightly packed, so every home match counts.
Aalesund are 14th with 21 points. Only Kristiansund BK on 19 points and Start on 16 are below them. That puts Sarpsborg seven points ahead of their visitors. It also means Aalesund arrive with plenty to play for in the lower reaches of the table.
At the top, Viking and Bodo/Glimt are level on 53 points. Rosenborg are fifth on 34, so the home game against them a week earlier is a serious test before the Aalesund match.
The stadium behind the occasion
Sarpsborg Stadion has been the club's home ground for generations. It opened in 1930 and has hosted cup finals and international matches over the years. It is owned by Sarpsborg municipality, and the club's own stadium pages describe it as a central gathering point for the town and the surrounding region.
The ground has a capacity of 8,022 and a 105 by 68 metre pitch. The surface has been artificial turf since 2009, and a new floodlight system was completed in October 2009. The main stand was built in 2000 and was extended at both ends in 2013, improving the VIP, dressing room, kiosk and toilet facilities.
The club's record attendance is 8,022, set against Malmö in the Europa League group stage in 2018. The stadium had to be expanded ahead of that match. The stadium sits in the Enenda district, about 700 metres from Sarpsborg town square and the end of the pedestrian street. It is roughly 2 kilometres from the E6 exit at Alvim, so it is easy to reach for fans coming from further afield.
Match-day outlook
With a 5:00 PM start, the match falls in the late afternoon, and the floodlights may well be needed as the evening draws in. Supporters planning to attend should check the club's official channels for ticket and match-day information closer to the date.
For Sarpsborg 08, the Aalesund match offers a chance to build on their position in the pack. For the visitors, it is another opportunity to climb away from the bottom of the table. A home crowd at one of Norway's most central football grounds will have a say in how it ends.
