Watch Eliteserien in Side: Norwegian Football on Our Screens

Yes, you can watch Eliteserien in Side. Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side old town shows Norwegian football on its 5–6 TVs, alongside other matches on other screens. The 2026 title run-in finishes on Sunday 13 December. Message us on WhatsApp before your game and we'll set a screen for it.

Norwegian football on our screens in Side

Hawaii Restaurant & Bar has been serving in Side old town since 2000 and is open every day from 10:00 to 02:00. We run 5–6 TVs on paid sports subscriptions, and Eliteserien is now part of what we show, together with Premier League, Champions League, Bundesliga, ice hockey, tennis and cycling. Because different games can play on different screens at the same time, a Norwegian table does not have to fight a room full of English fans for the remote.

The one honest rule: we never promise that a particular match will be on a particular screen. Late-autumn weekends are busy with football from several countries, so the reliable way is to message us on WhatsApp +90 533 930 12 83 with the fixture and your group size, and we'll set a screen for your match. For everything else we show, see our live football screening guide.

What time is Eliteserien in Side?

Türkiye stays on UTC+3 all year, while Norway changes its clocks. That gives two simple rules:

• Winter (until 27 March 2027): Side is 2 hours ahead of Oslo. A 17:00 kick-off in Norway is 19:00 here.
• Summer (from 28 March 2027): Side is 1 hour ahead of Oslo. An 18:00 kick-off in Norway is 19:00 here.

So the whole 2026 run-in falls in the winter rule: add two hours to the Norwegian time.

The 2026 title race, at the time of writing

At the time of writing (14 November 2026), every club has played 26 of its 30 games and the title is wide open. Viking and Bodø/Glimt are level on 62 points, with Viking just ahead on goal difference (+42 against +40). Rosenborg are third on 46. At the other end, Start, Aalesund and Kristiansund sit in the bottom three. The 14th-placed club goes into a two-legged play-off against the winner of the First Division (OBOS-ligaen) promotion play-off. The table will move every weekend, so treat this as a snapshot, not a prediction.

Remaining rounds: dates and Türkiye kick-off times

These are the scheduled dates from the official fixture list, with times converted to Side (Norwegian time + 2 hours). Check the official fixture list before you come, as dates and kick-off times can move for TV.

Other scheduled games in Side time include Aalesund v Rosenborg and KFUM v Brann on Sunday 22 November at 19:00, Rosenborg v Molde on Saturday 28 November at 20:00, and Vålerenga v Rosenborg on Saturday 5 December at 20:00. The final day is the one to plan around: with all eight matches kicking off together at 19:00, we can spread the key games across several screens so you can follow the title and the relegation fight at once. Tell us early if you are coming for 13 December.

NM Cup and the 2027 season

The Norwegian Cup now runs from autumn to spring. The 2025–26 final was played on 9 May 2026 at Ullevaal Stadion, where Bodø/Glimt beat Brann. For the 2026–27 competition there are no cup games between now and early March: the fourth round is provisionally expected around 7 March 2027, the quarter-finals around 21 April and the semi-finals around 12 May, with the final provisionally set for 29 May 2027 at Ullevaal. Those are estimated dates, so confirm them on the official Norwegian FA site nearer the time.

The start date of the 2027 Eliteserien season had not been published at the time of writing. If you are booking a spring holiday in Side, message us once the fixtures are out and we'll note your opening weekend.

Plan your match night

• Message ahead: send the fixture, kick-off time and number of people on WhatsApp +90 533 930 12 83, or reserve a table online for the final day.
• Free hotel pickup: we offer free round-trip hotel pickup from selected hotels, and a paid two-way transfer from farther areas. Tell us your hotel when you message.
• Eat during the game: thin-crust pizza from our wood-fired stone oven, grills cooked over wood fire and charcoal, and plenty more on the menu, which always shows current prices.
• Happy Hour: every day from 19:00 to 20:00, which lines up neatly with a 19:00 Side kick-off.

A few Scandinavian touches

Norwegian guests are not short of company in Side, and we have a few things on the menu that feel familiar. Kaffe Karlsson, the Scandinavian coffee-and-liqueur classic, is one of them; read more in our Kaffe Karlsson in Side guide. Our website is also available in Norwegian. We do not claim Norwegian-speaking staff, but the team works in English every day and is used to guests from all over Europe.

After the final whistle

A 19:00 kick-off ends around 21:00, which leaves the whole evening. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are show nights, with a show followed by karaoke, and karaoke runs every night until 00:30; see our karaoke night guide. Friday is BBQ night, eat as much as you like, so a Friday game like Molde v Viking on 4 December pairs well with dinner. The kitchen and bar stay open until 02:00. If ice hockey is your second sport, our hockey nights page covers that too.
