Pubs are allowed to remain open later for Norway’s game so fans can watch it in full, even if kick-off runs late. Coverage from both the BBC and Yahoo Sports says the arrangement extends permitted opening hours to account for possible delays, ensuring venues can still show the start and later stages of the match. The reporting indicates the change is tied to the match’s scheduled timing and applies in situations where the game begins later than planned. As a result, pub customers are able to follow the full fixture without venues being forced to close at the usual time because of a delayed kick-off. Both outlets frame the decision as a practical measure for sports viewers, rather than a wider policy change. The key point across sources is that the extension is specifically designed to cover delays around the match start, allowing the full game to be screened.
