Eliteserien Standings & Stats

Eliteserien 2026 is Norway's top-tier football league, featuring 16 teams competing from 14 March to 6 December 2026. As of early September, the season is well underway with clubs having played between 10 and 13 matches. Defending champion Viking currently sits at the top of the table, setting a furious pace.

Eliteserien Table

The current standings highlight a dominant leader and a tight group chasing European spots. Viking (27 points from 10 games) have recorded 9 wins and only 1 defeat, scoring 29 goals and conceding just 10 for a +19 goal difference. Tromso (25 points from 13 matches) hold second place on the back of 7 wins and 4 draws, while Bodo/Glimt (23 points from 11 outings) show title credentials with a 7-2-2 record. The battle for continental qualification remains open, as Ham‑Kam, Molde and Sandefjord sit within striking distance of the podium.

Favorites & Title Chances

Based on points, games in hand, goal difference and overall form, we estimate the title probability as follows:

• Viking – 65%: The ultimate front‑runner. With three games in hand on Tromso and a near‑flawless 90% win rate, Viking have a firm grip on the trophy race. Their goal difference (+19) is the best in the league, and they show no signs of slowing down.
• Bodo/Glimt – 25%: Still well positioned despite the gap. Holding a game in hand over Viking and possessing the second‑best attack (28 goals in 11 matches), Bodo/Glimt can close the deficit if they win their extra fixtures and beat Viking in the head‑to‑head.
• Tromso – 10%: Consistent but less explosive. Having played the most matches (13), Tromso have little margin for error and a lower goal output (18 for). They will need help from the leaders to stay in contention.

With over two‑thirds of the season remaining, these probabilities can shift quickly, but the current evidence points to a Viking title defense.

Season Stats

Through 98 completed events in the 2026 campaign, the Eliteserien is averaging 2.88 goals per match. Viking lead both the standings and the scoring charts, while Bodo/Glimt sit just one goal behind.
