Sarpsborg 08 Set for Home Clash With Sandefjord on August 16
Sarpsborg 08 FF return to Sarpsborg Stadion on 16 August when they host Sandefjord in Round 18 of the Norwegian Eliteserien. The home side face two away matches first — at Molde and Viking — before bringing the action back to their 8,000-capacity ground.
Eliteserien Matchday on the Horizon
Sarpsborg 08 FF are preparing to host Sandefjord at Sarpsborg Stadion on 16 August 2026, in what will be the club's next home fixture in the Norwegian Eliteserien. The match represents a key opportunity for the side to build momentum in front of their home supporters after a run of away assignments.
The fixture is listed as Round 18 of the Eliteserien regular season, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00. Sarpsborg Stadion, which holds just over 8,000 spectators, is expected to draw a strong local turnout for the midseason showdown.
Away Fixtures Before the Home Return
Before welcoming Sandefjord, Sarpsborg 08 FF must first navigate a testing away trip to Molde on 2 August, followed by a visit to Viking's Lyse Arena on 8 August. Both opponents are among Eliteserien's stronger sides, meaning the team will arrive back at Sarpsborg Stadion having been battle-tested against top-half competition.
VikingSTADION reported that Viking FK currently sit top of the Eliteserien table ahead of their own clash with Sarpsborg, underlining the competitive context surrounding the club's upcoming schedule.
A Busy Second Half of the Season
The fixture list shows Sarpsborg 08 with several more home matches to come at Sarpsborg Stadion later in the season, including a marquee tie against Vålerenga on 7 September and a local-flavour fixture against KFUM Oslo on 18 September. For fans, the coming weeks represent some of the most anticipated home matchdays of the campaign.
With the team having already claimed notable results this season — including a 2–1 home victory over Molde in May — supporters will be hoping Sarpsborg Stadion can continue to prove a fortress as the title race intensifies.
