The official UEFA match page identifies Ullevaal Stadion as the venue for Norway vs Portugal. The Norwegian Football Federation also lists the fixture at the stadium with a 20:45 kick-off.
How to read UEFA's published kick-off time
UEFA publishes its league phase fixture list with a note saying that times are shown in CET and lists Norway vs Portugal at 20:45. To avoid confusion caused by European daylight saving time, the most practical reference for readers is the local kick-off confirmed by the host federation: 20:45 in Oslo.
On 27 September, Oslo is two hours ahead of UTC while Lisbon is one hour ahead. Therefore, a 20:45 start in Norway corresponds to 19:45 in Lisbon. Brasília remains on UTC-3, making the kick-off 15:45 in Brazil.
Why Norway is the home team
The official schedule places Norway first in the Matchday 2 fixture and UEFA identifies Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo as the venue. This is therefore Norway's home match. The reverse fixture follows only a few days later, on 4 October, with Portugal as the home side.
That sequence makes the 27 September meeting part of a compact run rather than an isolated game. Portugal face Norway again in Matchday 4 after also travelling to Denmark.
Portugal's schedule in the first international window
UEFA opens the 2026/27 edition with an extended international window from 24 September to 6 October. Portugal have four Nations League matches in eleven days, beginning at home to Wales and then playing two away fixtures before the return meeting with Norway.
| Date | Portugal fixture | Home team |
|---|---|---|
| 24 Sep | Portugal vs Wales | Portugal |
| 27 Sep | Norway vs Portugal | Norway |
| 1 Oct | Denmark vs Portugal | Denmark |
| 4 Oct | Portugal vs Norway | Portugal |
Portugal then complete the league phase in November, hosting Denmark on 14 November and visiting Wales on 17 November. UEFA's team-by-team fixture list contains all six Portugal matches.
What Group A4 means
Portugal, Denmark, Norway and Wales make up Group A4 in League A. According to UEFA's competition format guide, the group winners and runners-up in League A advance to the quarter-finals.
Norway vs Portugal is therefore part of a direct six-match group race for points. With four Portugal fixtures packed between 24 September and 4 October, the standings can change quickly during the opening stretch.
Portugal begin the campaign as defending champions
Portugal won the 2025 Nations League by beating Spain on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the final. UEFA itself presents Portugal as the defending champions at the start of the 2026/27 campaign. That provides context for the new edition, but it does not change the Group A4 format or the importance of the six league phase matches.
