Sandefjord Visit Sarpsborg Stadion in Eliteserien Round 18
Sarpsborg Stadion opens its doors to top-flight football again on Sunday 16 August as Sandefjord visit for a crucial Eliteserien clash, kick-off 15:00. Tickets are on sale now, with the home side riding high after beating Viking on the road.
Sarpsborg Stadion hosts its most high-profile fixture of the late summer on Sunday 16 August when Sandefjord arrive for Round 18 of the Eliteserien, kick-off 15:00. For fans who have had to follow their side on the road or via screens since July, the return of top-flight football to Sarpsborg is a welcome moment.
Sandefjord arrive sitting 12th in the Eliteserien table, making this a match Sarpsborg 08 will be targeting as a must-win to build on the momentum gained from the Viking result. The home side currently sit seventh with 22 points from 16 games.
Sarpsborg 08 have a solid home record in the Eliteserien this season, winning four, drawing two and losing just one of seven home fixtures. The average home attendance this season stands at 5,592, and the club will be hoping the positive atmosphere of a returning home crowd pushes that figure higher on the 16th.
A win would keep the team firmly in the battle for European places and ease any lingering concern about a mid-table drift. With Vålerenga and KFUM still to come at Sarpsborg Stadion before the end of September, three points against Sandefjord could prove pivotal to the shape of the club’s autumn campaign.
Tickets are available now through the official Sarpsborg 08 website. Kick-off on Sunday 16 August is at 15:00. Supporters are encouraged to arrive early to soak up the atmosphere as the stadium prepares to host what the club has billed as one of the defining home days of the 2026 season.
