Packed Fixture Run Awaits as Intility Arena Roars Back to Life
Vålerenga's home ground is buzzing again after the Eliteserien summer break, with a freshly laid pitch and a mouth-watering run of fixtures ahead. Ham-Kam visit on 31 July, before title contenders Bodø/Glimt arrive on 8 August. The schedule runs all the way through to a Rosenborg season finale in December.
Return from the Break
Intility Arena is back in business after the Eliteserien summer pause, and the second half of the 2026 season promises a feast of football for supporters in Oslo. The restart could hardly have gone better: Vålerenga put six goals past Aalesund on 16 July — the first home match back after the break — to send fans home in high spirits.
The fixture list from now until December is stacked with heavyweight opponents, giving the club's supporters every reason to keep their Intility Arena dates free.
Ham-Kam Up Next, Then the Big Ones
The immediate focus turns to Ham-Kam, who visit on 31 July at 17:00. After that, the games get bigger still: reigning title challengers Bodø/Glimt arrive on 8 August, a fixture already shaping up to be one of the most eagerly anticipated home matches of the entire season.
Molde, Fredrikstad, Brann and Tromsø all make the trip to Oslo later in the campaign, before the season finale — a blockbuster Eliteserien home clash with Rosenborg pencilled in for 6 December.
New Pitch Ready for Action
The timing of the summer break was not wasted off the pitch either. A brand-new artificial grass surface was laid at Intility Arena earlier this month, ensuring the playing surface is in peak condition as the club enters the most important stretch of the season.
With a capacity of over 16,500 and a schedule that now runs deep into December, Intility Arena is gearing up for what could be its most compelling second half of a season yet.
