Bodø/Glimt Next Up as Jotun Arena Gears Up for Busy Second Half
Jotun Arena is entering one of its most action-packed stretches of the 2026 Eliteserien season, with Bodø/Glimt heading to Sandefjord on 26 July. Over 3,500 tickets have already been sold for that fixture, with a packed run of home matches to follow through the autumn. Sandefjord sit eighth in the table, level on points with several rivals, making home results all the more critical.
A Hotly Anticipated Return
After a summer break that kept Eliteserien action away from Sandefjord, Jotun Arena is firmly back at the centre of the action. The fixture list for the second half of the 2026 season shows a packed schedule of home matches at the stadium, with Bodø/Glimt — one of the most formidable sides in Norwegian football — the next visitors on 26 July 2026.
Ticket demand has already been strong. As of the most recent update from the club, 3,500 tickets had already been sold for the Bodø/Glimt fixture, underlining the appetite among the local fanbase for a big matchday at Jotun Arena.
A Season Firmly in the Balance
Sandefjord currently sit eighth in the Eliteserien table with 14 points from 11 matches, level on points with several sides in a tightly packed mid-table. Home form at Jotun Arena will be crucial to any push up the standings in the second half of the campaign.
The artificial turf surface at Jotun Arena — 105 metres by 68 metres — is a known factor that visiting sides must contend with, and Sandefjord will be looking to make it an advantage as the season intensifies.
What's Coming Up at Jotun Arena
Beyond the Bodø/Glimt clash, supporters have a series of home fixtures to look forward to. KFUM Oslo visit on 7 August, followed by Brann on 30 August and Viking on 4 September. The run-in also includes home dates against Lillestrøm, Molde, Tromsø and Vålerenga — a formidable list of opponents that will define Sandefjord's final standing in the 2026 Eliteserien season.
With the Folkets Kamp promotion for the KFUM Oslo match already generating significant buzz, the mood around the stadium is positive heading into what promises to be a decisive stretch of home games.
