Leeds United earned a 1–0 away win at Nottingham Forest in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match took place on Saturday, 22 August 2026. Leeds United scored once and protected the advantage, beginning their campaign with three points and a clean sheet on the road.
The result was one of the tightest matches of the opening weekend. Unlike Brighton’s 4–0 win or Brentford’s 3–0 victory, Leeds did not create a wide scoreline; the match was decided by a single goal.
This fixture also involved two clubs with recent promotion-related storylines. Leeds United returned to the Premier League after winning promotion, while Nottingham Forest remained among the established top-flight participants. The 1–0 scoreline belongs specifically to Leeds’ visit to Forest.
