Leeds United defeated Nottingham Forest 1–0 away from home during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match took place at the City Ground on Saturday, 22 August 2026. Leeds secured all three points with the only one-goal victory of the Saturday fixtures, while Nottingham Forest began their campaign without scoring.
The result was one of the weekend’s narrowest games. Four matches ended with a margin of two or more goals, while Leeds’ victory and the two 2–1 results were decided by a single goal.
This fixture can be confused with Ipswich Town’s 2–1 win over Sunderland because both were Saturday matches involving clubs outside the traditional title contenders. Leeds’ result was specifically a 1–0 away win at Nottingham Forest.
