Which club beat Nottingham Forest on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

Leeds United beat Nottingham Forest on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match took place on Saturday, 22 August 2026, at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground. Leeds won 1–0, making the fixture one of the opening round’s narrowest results.

Leeds were among the clubs competing in the Premier League after the 2025–26 season, while Nottingham Forest were also part of the division’s established group. The single-goal margin meant the match was decided without a draw or a multi-goal victory.

The reverse fixture was scheduled for a later point in the season, so the opening-weekend result should be identified by the venue and order of the teams: Nottingham Forest were at home and Leeds were the winners.
