New Turf and Big Fixtures: Intility Arena Ready for Autumn Run
Intility Arena has entered the autumn with a freshly laid artificial pitch and a mouth-watering run of home fixtures still to come. Brann, Tromsø and Rosenborg are all set to visit Oslo before December, while the women's side hosts Haugesund this weekend. It shapes up to be a historic few months at the stadium.
A Packed Autumn Calendar at Intility Arena
Intility Arena heads into the autumn with one of the most demanding home schedules in its history. The September 20 clash with Fredrikstad was just the beginning — Vålerenga fans can look forward to a series of high-profile visits before the season wraps up in December.
SK Brann are due in Oslo on October 18, followed by Tromsø IL on November 1 and a season-closing showdown with Rosenborg BK on December 6. Each fixture promises to draw a large crowd to the 16,555-capacity ground in the city's Grünerløkka district.
Brand New Surface for the Run-In
Helping set the stage for this busy period is a completely new artificial turf surface, installed at the stadium ahead of the 2026 autumn campaign. The upgrade ensures that the pitch will be in peak condition for every one of the remaining home fixtures, giving Vålerenga's players a consistent and reliable surface to work with.
The women's side also has a key Toppserien home fixture on the horizon, hosting FK Haugesund W on September 19 — the day before the men's Eliteserien clash — meaning back-to-back matchdays at the stadium this coming weekend.
What Fans Need to Know
Tickets for all upcoming home matches are available through Vålerenga's official ticketing system, with discounts available for students, seniors, military personnel and children. Supporters are reminded that smoking is not permitted anywhere inside the ground, and re-entry is not allowed once inside the stadium.
The Østblokka and Oslotaxi stands remain exclusively for Vålerenga supporters, while visiting fans are directed to dedicated sections 201 and 202. With a packed programme of top-flight football ahead, now is the time to secure your seat.
