Lyse Arena Set for Two Must-Win Eliteserien Clashes in September
Lyse Arena will host Eliteserien fixtures against Kristiansund BK (13 September) and Lillestrøm (20 September) as Viking FK push for the title. With the club just one point off the top of the table, both games carry huge significance. Supporters are urged to secure their seats early.
Two Big Home Dates Pencilled In
Lyse Arena will host back-to-back Eliteserien clashes in September as Viking FK fight on two fronts. First up is the visit of Kristiansund BK on Sunday 13 September (14:30 CEST), followed a week later by a potentially pivotal showdown against Lillestrøm on Sunday 20 September (17:00 CEST).
With Viking sitting second in the table, just a point behind leaders Bodø/Glimt, every home fixture at Lyse Arena carries enormous weight in what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive Eliteserien title races in recent memory.
Norwegian Cup Also on the Agenda
As if the domestic and European commitments were not enough, Viking FK entered the 2026–27 Norwegian Cup first round on 2 September, taking on local side Brodd — a tie that keeps cup aspirations alive after the club reached the quarter-final stage of last season's competition.
Tickets for the upcoming Lyse Arena fixtures against Kristiansund and Lillestrøm are available through the club's official website, with demand expected to be high given the significance of both matches in the title picture.
A Season to Remember
Viking are currently in their eighth consecutive Eliteserien season and are simultaneously participating in the UEFA Champions League league phase — a combination that has galvanised supporters and generated record interest around Lyse Arena this autumn.
Fans travelling from across the Stavanger region are advised to plan ahead, with public transport options around the stadium likely to be under pressure on both matchdays.
