Three Home Games Left — Skagerak Arena's Promotion Run-In Begins
Skagerak Arena is entering the most critical phase of its 2026 home calendar, with ODD Ballklubb's promotion fate to be settled across three remaining fixtures in Skien. Bryne, Strømmen and Sandnes Ulf all still have to visit before the curtain comes down on the home season. The club is urging supporters to fill the stadium as the pressure mounts.
Three Dates That Could Define Odd's Season
With the 5–1 demolition of Egersund now safely banked, attention at Skagerak Arena turns firmly to the final stretch of the 2026 home calendar. Three fixtures remain at the Skien ground: Bryne on 11 October, Strømmen on 18 October, and a season finale against Sandnes Ulf on 1 November.
Each game carries enormous weight in the 1. Divisjon promotion race. Odd currently sit fifth in the table, and every point at home could prove critical as the campaign enters its final weeks.
Fans Urged to Pack Out the Arena
Stadium officials are urging supporters to plan ahead and secure seats early as the stakes rise with each passing round. Tickets for all three remaining home fixtures are on sale now through the club's official channels. Under-18s continue to receive free entry, with discounted pricing also available for seniors, students, and supporters with disabilities.
The 11,767-capacity arena has been a genuine stronghold for Odd throughout 2026, and the club will be looking to their supporters to make Skagerak Arena an intimidating venue for all three visiting sides across October and November.
Bryne Up First on 11 October
The next home fixture comes against Bryne on Sunday 11 October, with kick-off at 17:00. It will be the first of three crucial tests on home soil, and one that Odd and their fans will be determined to approach with the same energy and intensity that swept Egersund aside just days ago.
With promotion still very much within reach, the coming weeks at Skagerak Arena promise to be among the most dramatic the stadium has witnessed in recent years.
