Leeds United won 1–0 against Nottingham Forest on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at Nottingham Forest’s home ground. Leeds secured all three points through a one-goal victory, making the fixture one of the tightest contests in the opening round.
Both clubs were part of the established Premier League lineup for the season, unlike Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City, who had just earned promotion. The result therefore represented an important early win in a competitive fixture between two familiar top-flight sides.
The score is easy to mix up with Everton’s 2–0 victory over Crystal Palace or Hull City’s 2–0 win against Manchester United. Leeds’ match was decided by a single goal, and Leeds were the winners.
