Which 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend fixture produced a 0–1 away win?

The story behind the answer

Nottingham Forest versus Leeds United produced a 0–1 away win in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

Leeds United won 1–0 away at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, 22 August 2026. Because Forest were the home side, the score is written 0–1 from the home-team-first perspective used in fixture lists.

The match was one of five Saturday fixtures. It was the only opening-weekend game decided by a single goal to nil, distinguishing it from Hull City’s 2–0 victory over Manchester United and Everton’s identical 2–0 win against Crystal Palace.

Leeds’ victory gave them three points without conceding. The match also involved two clubs with contrasting recent histories: Leeds had returned to the Premier League, while Nottingham Forest had remained among the established top-flight participants.
