What was the final score between Nottingham Forest and Leeds United in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

Leeds United beat Nottingham Forest 1–0 during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match at the City Ground was one of three Saturday afternoon fixtures in the opening round. Leeds kept Forest scoreless and secured a narrow away victory through a single goal.

The result was especially significant for Leeds because it marked their return to the Premier League after promotion. Nottingham Forest entered the season looking to build on their previous top-flight campaign but began with a home defeat.

A 1–0 result means Leeds scored once and conceded nothing. It is distinct from the 0–0 draw that would have left both sides with a point; Leeds instead took all three points.
