Buy SK Brann tickets for the 2026/27 Season and watch Bergen's club at Brann Stadion, the ground they have called home since 1919. Founded in 1908, Brann are three-time champions of Norway and seven-time winners of the Norwegian Cup, and the Store Stå terrace gives home matches a loud, red-and-white backdrop. Home matches draw supporters from across western Norway, and European nights in Bergen have become a regular part of the calendar again.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
This guide explains how Brann sell tickets, what seats cost at club prices, where to sit in each stand, how to reach the stadium from Bergen airport and the city centre and how a club that has known relegation and title glory in equal measure became a regular contender near the top of the Eliteserien. It also covers membership, the partoutkort season ticket, hospitality and the history behind the names on the banners.
Norwegian football runs on the calendar year, so a 2026/27 window with Brann covers three different competitions. The 2026 Eliteserien season runs from March to early December, the Conference League league phase is played between October and December and the 2027 Eliteserien begins again in the spring. For visitors, that means competitive football in Bergen for most of the year, with a short winter break between December and March.
The Eliteserien is a 16-club division in which every team plays the others home and away across 30 rounds. The bottom two are relegated automatically, while the club finishing 14th plays a two-legged play-off against a side from the First Division, the second tier. Brann know that play-off well: they lost one to Mjøndalen in 2014 and another to Jerv in 2021, and both times they bounced straight back.
The Norwegian Cup, known locally as NM, is the second domestic competition. It now runs across two calendar years, with early rounds in late summer and the final at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo the following spring. Brann reached the 2025/26 final, losing to Bodø/Glimt on penalties after a 3–3 draw, and began their 2026/27 campaign away to local neighbours Fyllingen.
In Europe, fourth place in the 2025 Eliteserien sent Brann into the Conference League qualifiers. They came through three rounds, against Universitatea Cluj, Apollon Limassol and PAOK, each tie won by a single goal or two, to reach the league phase. That campaign brings three European home matches to Bergen before Christmas.
The qualifying route showed the side's resilience. Brann drew 2–2 and won 3–1 against Universitatea Cluj, then lost 1–0 at home to Apollon before winning 4–2 after extra time in Cyprus. In the play-off they drew 1–1 away to PAOK and won the return 3–2 in Bergen, a result that confirmed a second straight season of European league-phase football at Brann Stadion.
Brann sell tickets through their own TicketCo shop, which uses Idrettens ID, the login system run by the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports, for authentication. Tickets are sent to your email and smartphone, and a ticket booth at the stadium opens two hours before kick-off for any remaining seats. For a visitor without a Norwegian sports login, creating an account is the first hurdle.
Timing is the second. The club usually opens sales one match at a time, typically once the previous home game has been played. That works well for local fans, but it makes planning difficult for anyone booking flights to Bergen weeks or months ahead.
European matches add another layer. For the 2026/27 Conference League, Brann sold a EuroPass covering all three home matches, offered first to season-ticket holders, then to members in a short two-hour window and only then to the general public in limited numbers. UEFA and the visiting club also take seats in the central Sparebanken Norge stand for European fixtures, which reduces what is left for everyone else.
A marketplace offers another route. Where 1BoxOffice has listings for a Brann match, each one shows the stand, the number of seats and the delivery method before you commit. That makes it easier to build a trip around a confirmed seat rather than waiting for a club release date that may land after your flights are booked.
Larger groups have a separate route through the club, which handles group requests by email rather than through the standard online shop. Whichever route you choose, check the stand, the number of seats together and the delivery method before paying, and remember that UEFA allocations can move seats in the central stand for European matches.
1BoxOffice has operated as a ticket marketplace since 2006, with a strong focus on football across Europe and the Middle East. Orders come with a buyer guarantee, payments are processed securely and bookings can be followed from purchase to delivery.
The guarantee is specific. If no alternative is offered and the original tickets are not received, the buyer is eligible for a full refund, and a credit voucher worth 50% of the original order value (excluding fees and taxes, capped at £125) may also be issued. That is the 150% money-back guarantee in practice.
Brann are the flagship club of Norway's second city, and their nickname, Bergens Stolthet, means the pride of Bergen. The Bataljonen supporters' group, with a membership of several thousand, fills the Store Stå terrace in the Frydenbø stand and sets the tone on matchdays.
Demand rises sharply for a handful of fixtures each season. The visit of Viking from Stavanger is the Vestlandsderby, the west coast derby. Rosenborg, the dominant club of the 1990s and 2000s, still bring a sense of history, and Bodø/Glimt have become the modern benchmark after edging Brann to the 2024 title and beating them in the 2026 cup final.
Brann Stadion is not only for the men's team. SK Brann Kvinner, the women's side, play Toppserien and European home matches at the stadium too, with tickets sold through the same TicketCo shop. For visitors in Bergen on a weekend without a men's home game, a women's match is a way to see the ground and the club's supporters in action.
For regular league matches, seats are usually available close to the date. For the derby, title rivals and European fixtures, buying early gives the widest choice of stands.
Brann price tickets by stand, with the two end stands priced below the long sides. League prices vary from match to match, but seats behind the goals have generally cost around NOK 200 to 275 and seats along the sides around NOK 325 to 400.
European matches cost more. For the first 2026/27 Conference League home game, single tickets were NOK 300 for adults and NOK 200 for children and concessions in the BT and Frydenbø stands, rising to NOK 500 and NOK 300 in the Sparebanken Norge and Fjordkraft stands. Children are those under 17 and concessions cover over-67s and disabled supporters. Under-5s still need a ticket.
The figures below are club face values converted to pounds. Marketplace listings are priced by individual sellers, so always check the price, stand and delivery terms on the listing itself.
| Ticket Type | Club Face Value (NOK) | Approx. GBP |
|---|---|---|
| Eliteserien, end stands (BT, Frydenbø) | About 200 – 275 | £16 – £22 |
| Eliteserien, long sides (Sparebanken Norge, Fjordkraft) | About 325 – 400 | £26 – £32 |
| Conference League 2026/27, end stands | 300 adult / 200 child or concession | £24 / £16 |
| Conference League 2026/27, long sides | 500 adult / 300 child or concession | £40 / £24 |
| Brannbørsen restaurant (season, per person) | 22,500 excluding VAT | About £1,790 |
League prices are indicative and can change by fixture. GBP figures are converted from Norwegian kroner and move with the exchange rate.
Yes, for most matches. Brann sell league tickets to the general public through TicketCo right up to kick-off, and the stadium ticket booth opens two hours before the start. Membership is not required for a standard Eliteserien match, although you will need an Idrettens ID login to buy online.
The picture changes for high-demand fixtures. European home matches in 2026/27 went first to season-ticket holders and members, with only a limited general sale afterwards, and away tickets are often subject to purchase limits and priority for partoutkort holders and members when allocations are small.
For visitors who want seats confirmed early, or who are travelling for a European night or a derby, a marketplace is the practical alternative. Where listings exist on 1BoxOffice, each one states the stand and delivery method, so read those notes carefully before buying.
The Brann season ticket is called the partoutkort. It covers league home matches and gives holders the first chance to buy European packages such as the EuroPass. Season tickets are digital by default, and holders who want a physical plastic card can order one for NOK 250.
Membership is a separate thing. Sportsklubben Brann is a self-owned club with only personal members, which means members, not investors, own it. The membership year runs from 1 January to 31 December, and applications go through Min Idrett, the Norwegian sports federation's online system, with an invoice sent once you are registered.
The listed member benefits are a vote at the annual meeting, a 10% discount in the matchday club shop at the stadium and the club newsletter. In practice, members have also been given priority windows for in-demand tickets, as they were for the 2026/27 EuroPass.
| Category | Annual Fee (NOK) | Approx. GBP |
|---|---|---|
| Child | 250 | About £20 |
| Adult (from the calendar year you turn 15) | 500 | About £40 |
| Life membership | 10,000 (one-off) | About £795 |
| Partoutkort plastic card (optional) | 250 (one-off) | About £20 |
Adult members gain voting rights at the annual meeting. GBP figures move with the exchange rate.
Brann Stadion has five named sections around a hybrid grass pitch. On one long side sits the Sparebanken Norge stand, home of the VIP seats and the Brannbørsen restaurant, with the Fjordkraft stand opposite. Behind one goal is the Frydenbø stand, base of the Bataljonen and of Store Stå, literally the big standing area. Behind the other is the BT stand, once known as the Clock End. The EGD corner completes the bowl.
Visiting supporters are placed in a separate section set for each match. For 2025/26 European home games it was section D of the Fjordkraft stand, and a 2024 guide for travelling fans described supporters being escorted to the ground from a meeting point around 200 metres away, with no alcohol permitted inside.
For European matches, UEFA rules mean no standing, so Store Stå is either converted to seats or partly left empty. UEFA and the visiting club are also given central seats in the Sparebanken Norge stand, which has meant moving some season-ticket holders for those nights.
| Stand | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sparebanken Norge stand | Central views and hospitality | Higher | Long side; VIP seats and Brannbørsen; formerly the Sparebanken Vest stand |
| Fjordkraft stand | A long-side view of the pitch | Higher | Long side; visiting fans were placed in section D for 2025/26 European matches |
| Frydenbø stand | Atmosphere | Lower | End stand with Store Stå, the Bataljonen and the Fotballpuben bar |
| BT stand | A lower-priced end view | Lower | End stand, formerly known as the Clock End |
| EGD corner | Corner seats | Varies | Corner section linking the stands |
Brann take a loyal following around Norway, and the Bataljonen runs buses to many away matches. For most fixtures the home club provides a ticket link, and all sales for the away section go through it. When allocations are tight, Brann agree special rules with their supporter coordinator: travellers on the Bataljonen buses are prioritised first, purchase limits are common and partoutkort holders and members may get first refusal.
Many Norwegian grounds use free seating in the away section, so arriving early matters if you want to stand or sit with the singing section. Distances can be large. Trips south to Stavanger and Oslo are manageable, while journeys north to Trondheim, Molde, Kristiansund and Bodø often mean flights or long drives along the coast.
European away days need more preparation. For some UEFA fixtures, visiting supporters must create a profile in the home club's own ticket system and use a code supplied by Brann to unlock the away allocation.
| Topic | What to Know |
|---|---|
| Away tickets | Usually sold through a link provided by the home club |
| Priority | Bataljonen bus travellers first when allocations are limited |
| Seating | Free seating is common in Norwegian away sections |
| Long trips | Bodø, Trondheim, Molde and Kristiansund usually mean flying or a long drive |
| European away matches | May require a profile on the host club's ticket system and an access code |
With just under 18,000 seats, Brann Stadion keeps supporters close to the pitch. Choose your stand around the experience you want.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Frydenbø stand | Home of Store Stå and the Bataljonen, with flags and singing all match |
| Best view | Sparebanken Norge stand, central sections | A long-side view from the halfway line |
| Family-friendly | BT stand or Fjordkraft stand | Seated areas away from the terrace, with child prices available |
| Premium experience | Brannbørsen or a private box | Restaurant tables, VIP seats and a pre-match update from the coaching staff |
| Lower-priced option | BT stand | End-stand prices, generally around NOK 200 to 275 for league matches |
Families get good value. Child prices apply to everyone under 17, although under-5s still need their own ticket, and the fanzone outside the stadium opens two hours before kick-off with activities aimed at younger supporters. Seats in the end stands away from Store Stå give children a clear view without the standing crowd in front of them.
Locals simply call it Stadion. Brann Stadion opened in 1919 in the Fridalen area, around 3 kilometres south of Bergen's city centre, and it has been rebuilt stand by stand since the 2000s. Today it holds about 17,950 spectators, well below the record of 24,800 set in 1961, when standing terraces still ringed the pitch.
The stadium's surroundings carry the club's history. The square outside the newer stands is Kniksens plass, named in 2008 after Roald "Kniksen" Jensen, the gifted forward of the 1960s, and a statue of him has stood outside the ground since 1995. The club's own address is Kniksens plass 1.
Matchday starts well before kick-off. The fanzone and the ticket booth open two hours before the start, with pizza, kiosks and activities for children. The Fotballpuben bar in the Frydenbø stand opens two or three hours before kick-off and welcomes anyone with a ticket, a second pub in the Sparebanken Norge stand opens an hour before and the club shop opens three hours before. The gates open one hour before kick-off, and the club warns that queues are longest in that final hour.
The club shop has moved mainly online, with Brann merchandise sold through Unisport, but the stadium store opens on matchdays for shirts, scarves and supporter gear. On European nights the routine changes slightly: the pub by gate 11 and the club shop open three hours before kick-off, while the turnstiles open earlier than usual to allow for UEFA security checks.
Getting there is simple. Bybanen, Bergen's light-rail tram, runs on Line 1 from Bergen Airport Flesland straight to the Brann stadion stop in about 30 minutes, with frequent services through the day. From the city centre, the same line reaches the stadium in around 11 minutes. There is no match-day parking for visitors, so the tram is the practical choice, and after the final whistle the club suggests walking to the Kronstad stop to avoid the crowds at the stadium platform.
Bergen itself is worth the trip. Norway's second city is the gateway to the western fjords, and its Bryggen wharf, a row of wooden Hanseatic merchant houses, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Fløibanen funicular climbs from the centre to Mount Fløyen for views across the harbour, and the fish market sits at the head of the bay a short walk from the tram line.
Pack for rain. Bergen is one of the wettest cities in Europe, with around 2,500 millimetres of rain a year spread over roughly 200 wet days. Average temperatures range from about 3°C in January to about 16°C in July, and December evenings are dark from mid-afternoon, so a European night in late autumn means proper winter clothing.
Stadium tours are available by arrangement with the club, though not on matchdays. Supporters with a Norwegian companion certificate, the ledsagerbevis, can bring a companion: buy the companion's ticket through TicketCo as normal and claim a refund from the club after the match.
Brann offer two hospitality concepts for Eliteserien matches. Brannbørsen is the club restaurant, with your own table overlooking the pitch, VIP seats in the middle of the Sparebanken Norge stand, a buffet that changes from match to match, dessert and coffee, a soft drink and access to the bar before the game and at half-time. A member of the coaching staff gives a briefing before kick-off, and the restaurant opens 90 minutes before the start.
A season seat in Brannbørsen costs NOK 22,500 per person, excluding VAT. Restaurant seats for individual matches are released through TicketCo during the season, which is the route for a one-off visit.
The stadium also has 26 private boxes, known as losjer, aimed at companies entertaining clients and staff. Box holders get VIP seats directly outside the box, a buffet, dessert and coffee, bar access with service to the box and entry to a shared mingling area, along with the same coaching update before the match.
| Option | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Brannbørsen (season) | Restaurant table, VIP seat, buffet, bar access and coaching briefing | NOK 22,500 per person excluding VAT |
| Brannbørsen (single match) | Restaurant seat for one match, released through the season | Varies by fixture |
| Private box (losje) | VIP seats outside the box, buffet, bar service and mingling area | On request from the club |
| Marketplace listings | Varies by listing, where available | Varies by fixture |
Where 1BoxOffice has listings for a Brann fixture, the process below applies. It is a simple way to find SK Brann tickets with the stand and delivery method confirmed before you commit.
Step1
Find your fixture
Browse Brann's upcoming home and away matches and open the one you want. Each listing shows the competition, date and venue so you can confirm you have the right game.
Step2
Create your account or log in
Use the 1BoxOffice register form to set up an account with your name, email address and phone number, or log in if you already have one. Accurate details matter because they are used for delivery updates.
Step3
Select your seats
Filter listings by stand, price and the number of tickets you need. If you want to sit together, choose a listing that confirms seats are adjacent.
Step4
Review the listing details
Read the seller's notes on stand, restrictions, entry requirements and delivery method before moving on. For European matches, check whether the seats are in a section affected by UEFA allocations.
Step5
Complete your payment
Pay through the secure checkout. Orders come with the 150% money-back guarantee, under the buyer protection terms described earlier in this guide.
Step6
Follow your order
Use track order to see the status of your booking and when your tickets will be sent. You will also receive email updates as the delivery date approaches.
Confirmation arrives by email once payment clears. Delivery timing depends on the ticket type and the seller, so allow for that if you are booking flights to Bergen around a specific fixture.
These are the Brann home fixtures that typically see the strongest demand at Brann Stadion.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Brann vs Viking | The Vestlandsderby between Bergen and Stavanger |
| Brann vs Rosenborg | Decades of title races and two cup final defeats to the Trondheim club |
| Brann vs Bodø/Glimt | The modern title benchmark and the 2026 cup final opponents |
| Conference League home matches | Sold first to season-ticket holders and members, with UEFA allocations reducing general sale |
| Brann vs Fyllingen (cup) | A Bergen derby whenever the Norwegian Cup draw pairs the two clubs |
Delivery method varies by listing, and each one states how the tickets will reach you. The main types are:
Always read the listing notes for the delivery type and any entry requirements before you buy, and keep your phone charged so updates and tickets reach you.
The gates at Brann Stadion open one hour before kick-off, and the club recommends arriving in good time so you are not still queuing when the match starts. The fanzone and ticket booth open two hours before kick-off. For European matches, gates have opened 90 minutes before an evening start, and arriving at least 45 minutes before kick-off is sensible given the additional security checks.
Norway has no national fan identity card for football, and domestic tickets are scanned at the turnstile from your phone. Carry photo identification in case stewards ask for it, particularly if you hold a concession ticket or a ticket in someone else's name, and follow the instructions on your listing. Anyone using a companion certificate must still have a ticket to enter.
For UEFA matches, bags are not permitted, every supporter is searched, intoxicated fans are refused entry and smoking is banned. For league matches, travel light and expect checks at the entrance; a 2024 guide for visiting supporters set a maximum bag size of 25 by 25 by 25 centimetres. Pyrotechnics are prohibited, and supporters should follow stewards' instructions throughout the match.

| Stadium | Brann Stadion (capacity about 17,950) |
| Head coach | Eirik Horneland (second spell, from July 2026) |
| Captain | Fredrik Pallesen Knudsen |
| League | Eliteserien (16 clubs) |

Brann's history swings between long droughts and sudden bursts of success. The name means fire in Norwegian, and the club has rarely done anything quietly: early cup wins, two league titles in the 1960s, a decade of yo-yo seasons, a European quarter-final against Liverpool, a famous title in 2007 and, most recently, a fall into the second tier followed by an immediate revival under Eirik Horneland.
Brann were founded in 1908 and within 15 years had won the Norwegian Cup, then the country's main national competition. A second cup followed in 1925. The opening of the stadium in 1919 gave the club a permanent home in Fridalen, and the pre-war striker Finn Berstad scored goals at a rate that still places him among the club's all-time leading marksmen.
The early 1960s brought Brann's first golden age. Led by the brilliant Roald "Kniksen" Jensen and the prolific Rolf Birger Pedersen, the team won the league in 1961/62, an extended season during Norway's switch in calendar, and again in 1963. The record crowd of 24,800 came in 1961. A third cup followed in 1972, which led to the club's first European campaign the following season, and a fourth arrived in 1976. Tore Nordtvedt, who played from 1963 to 1979, set an appearance record in this period that still stands.
Between 1979 and 1986 Brann went down in 1979, 1981, 1983 and 1985 and came straight back up each time, a sequence that left supporters with a reputation for patience. A fifth cup in 1982 came in the middle of that run. The 1990s brought stability and a memorable European adventure. In the 1996/97 Cup Winners' Cup, Brann beat Shelbourne, Cercle Brugge and then PSV Eindhoven 4–3 on aggregate to reach the quarter-finals, where they drew 1–1 with Liverpool in Bergen before losing 3–0 at Anfield. A young Tore André Flo starred in that side and joined Chelsea in the summer of 1997, the same year Brann finished second in the league.
Mons Ivar Mjelde, a former Brann striker, took charge in 2003 and delivered the cup in 2004. Three years later, with Thorstein Helstad leading the attack, Brann won the 2007 league title, ending a 44-year wait and sparking celebrations across the city. The following years were harder. Brann were relegated in 2014 after losing a play-off to Mjøndalen and promoted again at the first attempt. In 2021 they finished 14th and lost the play-off to Jerv 8–7 on penalties after a 4–4 draw, a year local media called Brannus horribilis.
Eirik Horneland, appointed caretaker in July 2021 and head coach that August, could not prevent relegation, but what followed was remarkable. Brann won the First Division in 2022 with 81 points and also lifted the Norwegian Cup, beating Lillestrøm 2–0 in the final at Ullevaal in May 2023 in front of 25,532 spectators. Back in the top flight, they finished second in 2023 and second again in 2024, three points behind Bodø/Glimt.
Horneland left for Saint-Étienne in December 2024, where he stayed until January 2026, and his successor Freyr Alexandersson led Brann to fourth place in 2025 and a place in the Europa League league phase, where wins over Utrecht and Rangers, the latter a 3–0 victory in Bergen, earned a spot in the knockout play-off round against Bologna. Freyr was dismissed in June 2026, a month after the cup final defeat to Bodø/Glimt, and Horneland returned in July on a contract running to the end of 2030.
That cup final, played at Ullevaal on 9 May 2026 in front of 24,636 spectators, went the full distance. Brann and Bodø/Glimt drew 3–3 after extra time, with Felix Horn Myhre and Kristall Máni Ingason among the Brann scorers, before Bodø/Glimt won the shoot-out 4–2. For Brann supporters it was a painful near miss, but also a sign that the squad could match the champions over 120 minutes.
The club's women's side has risen just as fast. Sandviken became SK Brann Kvinner in 2022 and fully merged with the club in 2023. They have since won Toppserien, the women's top flight, in 2022 and 2025, lifted the Norwegian Cup in 2022 and 2026 and reached the Women's Champions League quarter-finals in 2023/24.
Brann's history is written in the careers of a few remarkable players and coaches, from the stars of the 1960s to the strikers who carried the club through the modern era. Records below follow the club's own historical lists where they exist.
| Name | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roald "Kniksen" Jensen | Forward, 1960 to 1964 and 1971 to 1973 | The standout player of Brann's first golden age. Norway's annual Kniksen awards have carried his name since 1990. | League titles in 1961/62 and 1963; statue outside the stadium since 1995 |
| Rolf Birger Pedersen | Striker | Known as Pesen, he scored the goals that powered the 1960s champions. He tops the club's own scoring list. | 132 goals on the club's records |
| Tore Nordtvedt | Player, 1963 to 1979 | A one-club stalwart across two decades. His appearance record has never been beaten. | 398 appearances on the club's records |
| Thorstein Helstad | Striker, 1998 to 2002 and 2006 to 2008 | The focal point of the 2007 title-winning side. One of only a handful of Brann players past 100 goals. | 104 goals for the club |
| Erik Huseklepp | Forward | A long-serving favourite who passed 300 appearances for the club. He now works on the coaching staff. | 308 appearances; assistant coach in 2026/27 |
| Mons Ivar Mjelde | Striker, then head coach 2003 to 2008 | Scored freely as a player in the 1990s before returning to coach. He delivered the 2004 cup and the 2007 title. | 72 goals as a player; 2007 league champion as coach |
| Tore André Flo | Striker, 1996 to 1997 | A short but explosive spell that included the Cup Winners' Cup run. His form earned a move to the Premier League. | 34 goals in 50 games; joined Chelsea in 1997 |
| Bård Finne | Forward | A key figure in the post-2022 revival. He has climbed into the club's all-time top ten scorers. | 90 goals by the end of 2025 |
| Niklas Castro | Forward | The forward has become Brann's man for European nights. His goals against Lincoln Red Imps in 2026/27 took him level with the club record. | Joint record European scorer with Robbie Winters on 8 goals |
| Eirik Horneland | Head coach, 2021 to 2024 and from 2026 | Took over a relegated side and turned it into a title contender. He returned in July 2026. | 2022 First Division title and Norwegian Cup; runners-up in 2023 and 2024 |
Brann's honours come mainly from the Norwegian Cup, with three league titles spread across six decades. Counts below follow the club's records.
| Competition | Record |
|---|---|
| Norwegian league | 3 titles (1961/62, 1963, 2007) |
| Norwegian Cup | 7 wins (1923, 1925, 1972, 1976, 1982, 2004, 2022) |
| Eliteserien runners-up | 1997, 2023, 2024 |
| First Division (second tier) | Champions in 2022 |
| Cup Winners' Cup | Quarter-finals in 1996/97 |
| Europa League | League phase and knockout play-off round in 2025/26 |
Brann's rivalries reach along the whole Norwegian coast. The derby with Viking is about western pride, the battles with Rosenborg and Bodø/Glimt are about trophies and the meetings with Fyllingen are about who owns Bergen.
Brann against Viking is the Vestlandsderby, the derby of western Norway, between the country's second and fourth largest cities. The two clubs have shared the region's football spotlight for more than a century, and matches in Bergen and Stavanger carry real regional pride.
Rosenborg from Trondheim dominated Norwegian football through the 1990s and 2000s, and Brann were among the few clubs to push them. Rosenborg beat Brann in the cup finals of 1988 and 1999, and the 1997 title race, when Brann finished second, sharpened the edge.
Bodø/Glimt are the modern measure for every Norwegian club. They pipped Brann to the 2024 title by three points and beat them on penalties in the 2026 cup final at Ullevaal after a 3–3 draw. Matches between the two now carry the feel of a title fixture whatever the table says.
Vålerenga from Oslo are a long-standing rival, with the meeting between Norway's two largest cities carrying its own edge. The fixture lacks the regional intensity of the Viking derby but draws strong crowds in both cities.
Fyllingen are Brann's main local rival in Bergen, although they have spent most of their history in the lower divisions. Meetings now come mainly in the Norwegian Cup, as they did at the start of the 2026/27 competition, and they remain a matter of local bragging rights.
The past five seasons show how quickly Brann recovered from relegation.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021 | Brann finished 14th in the Eliteserien and lost the relegation play-off to Jerv on penalties after a 4–4 draw. Eirik Horneland replaced Kåre Ingebrigtsen in the summer. The cup run ended in the fourth round. |
| 2022 | Brann won the First Division with 81 points to return at the first attempt. They also won the Norwegian Cup, beating Lillestrøm 2–0 in a final played in May 2023. It was the club's first major trophy since the 2007 league title. |
| 2023 | Back in the top flight, Brann finished second with 61 points. They reached the cup quarter-finals. In Europe they beat Arouca 4–3 on aggregate before reaching the Conference League play-off round. |
| 2024 | Brann were runners-up again with 59 points, three behind champions Bodø/Glimt. They reached the Conference League play-off round once more. Horneland left for Saint-Étienne in December. |
| 2025 | Under Freyr Alexandersson, Brann finished fourth with 56 points. After losing to Salzburg in Champions League qualifying, they reached the Europa League league phase, finishing 24th. That fourth place earned a 2026/27 Conference League place. |
Brann reshaped the squad during 2026. Centre-back Eivind Helland joined Bologna for a fee reported at around €8.5 million, while Japhet Sery Larsen and Emil Kornvig also left. Icelandic forward Kristall Máni Ingason arrived from Sønderjyske, Kristian Eriksen joined from Molde and goalkeeper Simen Vidtun Nilsen came from Ranheim, before midfielder Kjartan Már Kjartansson joined from Aberdeen in August.
The squad blends experienced Norwegians with a strong Icelandic contingent. Captain Fredrik Pallesen Knudsen leads from defence, Sondre Tronstad and Jacob Lungi Sørensen anchor the midfield and Niklas Castro, Bård Finne and Sævar Atli Magnússon supply the goals. The table lists key members of the first-team squad.
Horneland's coaching staff has a strong club flavour. Former Brann forward Erik Huseklepp is one of his assistants, alongside Morten Kalvenes and Hassan El Fakiri, so the dressing room carries a direct link to earlier Brann sides.

Norway's transfer window reopens in the new year before the 2027 season, so the club's matchday information is the place to confirm the latest line-up.
Brann sell tickets through their TicketCo shop, which needs an Idrettens ID login, and at the stadium ticket booth from two hours before kick-off. League matches are open to the public, while European home games go first to season-ticket holders and members. Marketplace listings offer another route for high-demand fixtures.
Take Bybanen Line 1 from Bergen Airport Flesland to the Brann stadion stop, a journey of about 30 minutes. From the city centre the same tram takes around 11 minutes. There is no match-day parking for visitors.
League tickets have generally cost around NOK 200 to 275 behind the goals and NOK 325 to 400 along the sides. For the first 2026/27 Conference League home match, adult tickets were NOK 300 in the end stands and NOK 500 on the long sides. Children and concessions pay less.
Brann's most vocal home supporters, led by the Bataljonen, gather on the Store Stå terrace in the Frydenbø stand. For UEFA matches the terrace becomes seated or is partly closed. The Fotballpuben bar in the same stand opens two or three hours before kick-off.
Brann have won the Norwegian league three times, in 1961/62, 1963 and 2007. They have lifted the Norwegian Cup seven times, most recently in 2022. They also reached the Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals in 1996/97.
Whether it is the Vestlandsderby against Viking, a title fixture against Bodø/Glimt or a European night under the Bergen floodlights, a seat at Brann Stadion is worth planning for. 1BoxOffice has been a verified ticket marketplace since 2006, and orders come with its 150% money-back guarantee under the buyer protection terms. Pick your fixture, choose your stand and pack a raincoat for Bergen.
