League dates are provisional until the league confirms the exact day and time, usually a few weeks ahead, after TV picks. "TBC" means not confirmed yet. Updated 2026-11-15. The ticket labels show the club's usual rules: see the ticket helper.
🏆 European games: dates and times are UEFA's (read from Wikipedia); the knockout rounds appear once the draws are made. European tickets are sold differently from league ones.
This club's league fixtures are not in our free data, so only its European games are listed.

✅ Open sale
When: Single-match tickets go on general sale per match on the club's TicketCo shop; you must log in or register a (free) Viking Fotball account, which uses Idrettens ID, to buy. Popular games sell out (Viking v HamKam, 13 Dec 2026, was marked sold out).
Viking v KFUM (Eliteserien, 8 Nov 2026) on the club's TicketCo shop: adult Mørkeblå NOK 299, adult standing NOK 299, Sølv NOK 379, Gull NOK 449 (Felt O safe standing NOK 210, category unclear). Youth 4-18 NOK 120-210, student NOK 179. The stadium (now Lyse Arena) is card-only.
Buy on the official Viking site🏆 European games 🟡 Rules vary
How: Viking+ subscribers and Europa Pass holders get a presale (about three hours before) and the rest goes to open sale the same evening: this was the pattern for the away games at Atlético, Napoli and Stuttgart, and the club says home European tickets are released at a later point. The two home games played so far (Bayern, Sabah) were completely sold out with no box-office sale, and Viking+ was not valid for them, so a visitor realistically needs to hit the release instantly or use the Europa Pass route. Home games to come: 8 Dec Feyenoord, 20 Jan PSV, at Lyse Arena.
No prices found on the club pages.
European tickets on the official Viking siteEuropean tickets are sold game by game, often early, in packages or only to registered fans, and many are sold out by now.

The labels: ✅ Open sale = ordinary league games reach general sale · 🟡 Rules vary = members go first, some games reach general sale · 💳 Members only = a club card or membership is effectively needed · 🪪 = named tickets. They describe the club's usual league games, not one particular match: derbies and big games can be much harder.
Only buy from the club or its official partners. Unofficial resale sites charge far more and tickets can be cancelled at the gate. Prices are a guide and change by opponent; the club's site has the real price.
Stadium tours
No game that weekend? Most big grounds run tours and museum visits most days, including the dressing rooms and the tunnel.
