Bayern Come to Stavanger
Lyse Arena is preparing for what promises to be the most high-profile home fixture in Viking FK's modern history. Bayern München — winners of the UEFA Champions League on multiple occasions and one of the most recognisable clubs on the planet — are due in Stavanger on Tuesday, 13 October for a league-phase match in the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League.
The fixture is Game Week 2 of the Champions League league phase, and it represents a landmark occasion for a club that only recently broke into European competition at the highest level.
Tickets Already Attracting Strong Demand
Tickets for the match at Lyse Arena are officially on sale through Viking FK's primary ticketing vendor, TicketCo. Season-ticket holders and Viking+ subscribers were given priority access before general sale opened. On matchday, the ticket office at Gate 4 opens 1.5 hours before kick-off — and the venue operates as strictly cash-free.
Official face-value prices range from €40–€55 for standard home-end seats behind the goal, through €60–€85 for corners and upper-tier positions, up to €90–€140 for prime longside seating. Bayern München supporters wishing to sit in the away allocation must apply directly through the official FC Bayern ticketing portal or via fan club channels, with those seats priced at €45–€50.
A Season to Remember
Viking's presence in the Champions League league phase caps a sensational 2026 for the Stavanger club. Sitting joint-top of the Eliteserien with 50 points and boasting a perfect home record in the league, the squad and supporters arrive at this European showpiece in the best possible shape.
For Lyse Arena — opened in 2004 with a capacity of 15,900 — hosting Bayern München marks a new chapter. The ground, known previously as SR-Bank Arena and Viking Stadion, has grown into one of Norway's most vibrant football venues, and the visit of the German giants will test its atmosphere and infrastructure like never before.
