Leeds United earned a 1–0 away win over Nottingham Forest in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match was played on Saturday, 22 August 2026, with Nottingham Forest hosting Leeds United. Leeds’ one-goal victory gave the club three points and a positive goal difference of one after its first match.
The fixture paired two clubs with strong histories in English football. Leeds began the season as the away side, while Forest opened at home. A 1–0 scoreline means Leeds recorded a clean-sheet victory: Forest did not score, and Leeds needed only one goal to take all three points.
This result is distinct from Ipswich Town’s 2–1 win over Sunderland, another opening-day victory involving a promoted club. It is also not the same as Everton’s 2–0 result against Crystal Palace. The exact answer is Leeds United.
