Sarpsborg 08 Welcome Sandefjord in August Home Return
Sarpsborg 08 FF are set to host Sandefjord at Sarpsborg Stadion on 16 August 2026 in Round 18 of the Eliteserien, kick-off at 15:00. It will be the club's first home outing since July, making it a key date for supporters. The fixture falls between two away trips and ahead of another long wait before the next home game against Vålerenga in September.
An Upcoming Home Fixture to Look Forward To
With two away fixtures against Molde and Viking filling out early August, supporters will not have to wait long for the next opportunity to cheer on the team at Sarpsborg Stadion. Round 18 of the Eliteserien brings Sandefjord to Sarpsborg on 16 August 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00.
The match represents the club's first home fixture since the July clash with Ham-Kam, also played at Sarpsborg Stadion, making it a highly anticipated return to home soil for both players and fans.
The Road Back Home
Sarpsborg 08 FF have faced back-to-back away days to round out their schedule before the home return. A trip to Aker Stadion to face Molde on 2 August was followed by the visit to Lyse Arena in Stavanger to take on Viking on 8 August — a fixture in which Viking held a clear historical head-to-head advantage, with six wins to Sarpsborg's two over their recent meetings.
The Sandefjord game on 16 August therefore arrives at a pivotal moment in the season, offering the squad a chance to regroup and perform in front of their own supporters.
What to Expect at Sarpsborg Stadion
Sarpsborg Stadion serves as the proud home of Sarpsborg 08 FF throughout the 2026 Eliteserien campaign. After the Sandefjord home tie, the next confirmed home match is against Vålerenga, scheduled for 6 September — meaning the 16 August fixture is one of only two home games across an extended six-week stretch.
Fans planning to attend the Sandefjord clash are encouraged to book early, as home matches during this period are expected to draw strong crowds eager to support the side after a run of away games.
