A method for molding a sheet glass (G) having a flat-plate-like shape into a curved sheet glass having a curved shape, said method comprising: a holding step of supporting the sheet glass (G) by holding the sheet glass (G) in the thickness direction at two points (A, B) that are located apart from each other on the lower surface side of the sheet glass (G) and a point (C) that is located between the two points (A, B) and on the upper surface side of the sheet glass (G), thereby elastically deforming the sheet glass (G) into a curved shape; and a heating step of heating the elastically deformed sheet glass (G), thereby molding the sheet glass (G) into a curved sheet glass.
