Three Home Games Left — Skagerak Arena's Season Climax Beckons
Skagerak Arena is gearing up for a decisive autumn run as Odd Ballklubb prepare for their final three home fixtures of the 2026 1. Divisjon season. Following Sunday's 5–1 win over Egersund, the stadium is calling on supporters to book early as the promotion race reaches its climax. Bryne arrive first on 11 October, with Strømmen and Sandnes Ulf to follow.
Three Games to Define a Season
With the 5–1 demolition of Egersund now in the books, attention at Skagerak Arena has shifted firmly to what comes next. Three home fixtures remain in Odd Ballklubb's 2026 1. Divisjon campaign, and stadium officials are calling on supporters to plan ahead and secure their seats as the promotion stakes grow with every passing round.
Odd welcome Bryne on 11 October, followed by Strømmen on 18 October, before closing out the home schedule against Sandnes Ulf on 1 November. It is a run of matches that, depending on results elsewhere, could determine whether the club secures a return to the Eliteserien.
Book Early, Come in Numbers
Skagerak Arena holds 11,767 spectators, and the club is eager to see the ground fill as the autumn run-in intensifies. Tickets for all three remaining fixtures are on sale now through Odd's official channels, with free entry continuing for all supporters under 18 — a policy designed to bring new and younger fans through the turnstiles in Skien.
The initiative reflects a broader effort by the club to grow its matchday attendance during the most important weeks of the season. With momentum from Sunday's result behind them, Odd will be hoping a packed and vocal Skagerak Arena can serve as a decisive home advantage.
Bryne Up First on 11 October
The next home test arrives on 11 October when Bryne make the trip to Skien. It will be the first opportunity for the Skagerak Arena faithful to get behind the side following the Egersund triumph, and the club will be counting on a strong turnout to set the tone for the closing weeks of the campaign.
