Which 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match ended in a 1–0 away win for Leeds United?

The story behind the answer

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

The match was played at the City Ground on Saturday 22 August 2026. Leeds scored once and Nottingham Forest failed to respond, giving the visitors all three points.

The result was one of three opening-round matches decided by a single goal. Unlike the high-scoring draws and larger home victories elsewhere, this fixture was settled by one goal and a clean sheet.

The teams’ locations can cause confusion when recalling the result: Nottingham Forest were the home side, while Leeds United were the away team. The wording “Leeds United won 1–0” identifies the result, but the full fixture is needed to identify the venue and home side.
