What was the score in Nottingham Forest’s 2026–27 Premier League opener against Leeds United?

Leeds United beat Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

The match took place at the City Ground on Saturday, 22 August 2026. It was one of three fixtures that began at 15:00 BST, a traditional Saturday afternoon slot in the English league calendar.

Because Nottingham Forest were the home side, the score is conventionally written Nottingham Forest 0–1 Leeds United. Leeds therefore took the points away from home, while Forest began the season with no goals scored and one goal conceded.

This result is easy to mix up with the other Saturday matches. Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0, Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0, Ipswich Town beat Sunderland 2–1, and Brentford beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0. Leeds’ 1–0 victory was the only one-goal away win on that Saturday schedule.
