Norway's star player is Manchester City striker Erling Haaland
The Republic of Ireland will face Norway in a friendly in Dublin on 17 November before travelling to play Malta three days later.
The game against the 169th-ranked Maltese will take place on the same day that the World Cup starts in Qatar.
Norway's squad includes Manchester City's star striker Erling Haaland.
The Norwegians missed out on a World Cup spot as injured Haaland was absent for their must-win final Group G qualifier against the Netherlands.
Norway are 36th in the latest Fifa world rankings - 11 spots above the Republic.
With the Dutch topping the table, Turkey also finished above Norway in their World Cup group as the Scandinavians had five wins, three draws and two defeats in their campaign.
The Republic complete their latest Nations League campaign by facing Scotland at Hampden Park on Saturday before Tuesday's home encounter with Armenia.
