More Than Football: Aker Stadion at the Heart of Molde in 2026
From a community memorial match in July to a fixture list running all the way to December, Aker Stadion is proving itself central to life in Molde far beyond the Eliteserien. The ground hosts both the men's and women's top-flight programmes in 2026, with a packed home schedule still to come. Tickets for all upcoming fixtures are available via the official Molde FK platform.
A Community Venue as Well as a Football Ground
Aker Stadion's role in Molde extends well beyond hosting Eliteserien football. On 13 July 2026, the ground staged a Minnekamp — a memorial match — with kick-off at 17:00, drawing the local community together in an occasion that fell just days before Molde FK's high-profile home fixture against SK Brann.
The pairing of a community memorial event and a top-flight league match within the same week illustrates the breadth of what the fjordside stadium accommodates across a single summer.
Dual Purpose: Men's and Women's Football Under One Roof
Throughout 2026, Aker Stadion has served as the permanent home base for both Molde FK's Eliteserien programme and Molde W's Toppserien fixtures. The arrangement reflects a clear commitment from the club to the women's game, and it means the 11,249-capacity ground has rarely been idle on a weekend.
Coming Eliteserien home fixtures include matches against KFUM on 6 September, Aalesund on 19 September, Start on 18 October, Fredrikstad on 25 October, Bodø/Glimt on 22 November and Viking on 6 December.
Infrastructure That Supports Every Event
Opened on 18 April 1998 and designed by Molde architect Kjell Kosberg, Aker Stadion was built at a cost of 212 million kroner, funded by Kjell Inge Røkke and Bjørn Rune Gjelsten. An artificial pitch installed in 2014 allows matches to be staged throughout the Norwegian season, right into winter.
The venue's facilities — a restaurant, a café, ten kiosks and eight commentary boxes — support not only weekly league football but also the memorial and community events that have become an equally important part of the stadium's calendar in 2026.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming home matches through the official Molde FK ticketing platform.
