The squad composition and financial standing of Rosenborg BK for the 2026 season have been detailed. The Trondheim-based club is working with a squad of 26 players as they battle for position in the Eliteserien.
The club currently sits 7th in the league with 24 points from 17 games, recording 7 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses. Their recent form reads win, win, loss, win, win. The team has scored 25 goals and conceded 22, resulting in a +3 goal difference. The challenge is significant, however, as they trail league leaders Bodø/Glimt by a full 17 points ahead of the upcoming top-of-the-table clash away to Bodø/Glimt on August 30th.
What does the Rosenborg squad look like?
Rosenborg BK has 26 players under contract for the 2026 season. The average age within the squad at Lerkendal is 24.5 years, pointing to a balance of experience and youthful energy. Of these players, nine are foreign nationals, constituting 34.6 percent of the total squad. Only two players are currently capped by their respective national teams. This paints a picture of a squad largely built around talents being developed in the Eliteserien. You can view the complete roster on our squad page.
What do the club's financial numbers say?
One of the most striking figures is the club's current transfer record. Rosenborg BK holds a positive net transfer balance of +€18.25 million for the season. This indicates a sound financial strategy where revenue from player sales has exceeded investment in new acquisitions. Such funds are vital for the club's long-term stability and ability to invest in infrastructure and youth development.
Where does Rosenborg BK play its home matches?
Rosenborg's home ground is the well-known Lerkendal Stadion in Trondheim. The stadium has a total capacity of 21,510 seats. This arena is the setting for the team's home matches in the Eliteserien and any cup fixtures. A strong home record is often key to achieving a high league finish, which you can track via our standings page.
What does this mean for the rest of the season?
With a young squad and healthy finances, Rosenborg BK has a solid foundation. The immediate challenge, however, is the tough away fixture against Bodø/Glimt. A victory there could provide a major confidence boost and a chance to climb the table. The team's scoring rate of 25 goals in 17 games shows they have attacking threat, but the defence must stay tighter to secure points. The coming matches, which you can find on our fixtures list, will be decisive in determining if the team can close the gap to the top positions. The final phase of the season will test both the squad's depth and the manager's tactical choices.
