Odd Host Kongsvinger Under the Lights in Crucial 1. Division Clash
Skagerak Arena prepares for one of its few evening fixtures of the season as Odd Ballklubb welcome Kongsvinger on Wednesday 26 August. With the hosts sitting fourth in the 1. Division and promotion firmly in their sights, the match carries real weight at both ends of the table. Tickets are on sale now, with free entry for under-18s.
Evening Football Returns to Skien
Odd Ballklubb are set to host Kongsvinger at Skagerak Arena on Wednesday 26 August, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 — making it one of the rare evening fixtures on Odd's home calendar this season. Gates open one hour before kick-off, and supporters are encouraged to arrive early ahead of what promises to be a charged atmosphere at the 13,500-capacity ground in Skien.
The match forms part of Round 19 of the Norwegian 1. Division and is Odd's second home league fixture of August, following a 4–1 victory over Åsane at the same venue on 2 August.
Promotion Ambitions on the Line
With Odd sitting fourth in the 1. Division table, the stakes could hardly be higher. The club are firmly in the hunt for an automatic promotion place, and a positive result against Kongsvinger would keep the pressure on the sides above them in the standings.
The head-to-head record adds extra edge to the encounter: Kongsvinger have won both of the most recent meetings between the two clubs, including a 4–2 away win in May 2026 and a 2–1 victory in Skien back in August 2025. Odd will be keen to put that record right on home turf.
