Bodø/Glimt and Viking remain locked at the top of the 2026 Eliteserien table on 56 points apiece after 23 matchweeks, creating a narrow margin that positions either side as the most probable runner-up depending on results over the final seven rounds. Tromsø sits third on 39 points from 22 games with a solid goal difference, while Molde holds fourth on 37 points from the same number of fixtures, keeping both clubs within realistic striking distance of second place. Recent form shows Viking maintaining a strong unbeaten streak in several outings and Bodø/Glimt recovering from isolated setbacks, but the tight points gap and remaining schedule—including direct clashes—leave the ordering among these four sides highly fluid. Lower-placed teams like Rosenborg and Lillestrøm trail further back and face steeper climbs to challenge for the runner-up spot.
