Three Home Fixtures in Three Weeks for Sarpsborg Stadion
Sarpsborg Stadion is bracing for one of its busiest spells of the 2026 season. An Eliteserien clash against Sandefjord on 16 August kicks off a packed run that also includes a Norwegian Cup tie against local rivals Sparta Sarpsborg and a league visit from Vålerenga in September.
Three Big Occasions on the Horizon
Sarpsborg Stadion — home of Sarpsborg 08 FF since the club's founding in 2008 — is heading into one of its most packed stretches of the 2026 season. Three high-profile fixtures are set to take place at the ground within the space of three weeks, beginning with an Eliteserien home clash against Sandefjord on 16 August at 15:00.
The Norwegian Football Cup then brings local rivals Sparta Sarpsborg to the stadium in the first round, pencilled in for 22–23 August. A further league fixture against Vålerenga follows on 7 September at 17:00, rounding off what promises to be a memorable run of home action.
A Confident Side Returning Home
The flurry of home fixtures comes on the back of a positive run for Sarpsborg 08. The club beat Viking in Eliteserien on 8 August and earlier defeated Ham-Kam 1–0 at Sarpsborg Stadion on 26 July. The team currently sits seventh in the Eliteserien table with 18 points from 13 games.
The return to home turf against Sandefjord on 16 August is being keenly anticipated by supporters, who will be eager to see the squad build on recent form in front of their own fans.
About the Venue
Sarpsborg Stadion holds an official capacity of 8,022 spectators and features an artificial turf surface measuring 105 by 68 metres. The stadium is owned and operated by Sarpsborg 08 themselves, with the club handling all maintenance and development of the facility. Known for its intense matchday atmosphere, the ground is set to be a focal point for Norwegian football over the coming weeks.
