Which 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend fixture ended 1–0?

The story behind the answer

Nottingham Forest 0–1 Leeds United was the 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend fixture that ended 1–0.

Leeds United won away from home at Nottingham Forest, securing three points with the only goal of the match. The clean-sheet victory gave Leeds a plus-one goal difference after the first round, while Forest began the campaign without a point.

The result was the lowest-scoring completed match of the opening weekend. It contrasted with Brighton’s 4–0 victory, the 3–2 Chelsea win at Fulham and the 2–2 Newcastle–Liverpool draw. Across the ten fixtures, only one match had a total of one goal.

The scoreline is sometimes reversed when the fixture is recalled because Nottingham Forest were the home side. In standard football notation, the home team is listed first, so “Nottingham Forest 0–1 Leeds United” records Leeds as the away winner.
