Nottingham Forest hosted Leeds United in a 15:00 fixture on Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was scheduled for Saturday, 22 August 2026, at the City Ground. It was one of three fixtures listed for the conventional 15:00 start, alongside Everton versus Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town versus Sunderland.
Nottingham Forest were the home side, while Leeds United travelled as the visitors. Separating the home and away teams matters because several opening-weekend fixtures involved clubs from the same broad regions or multiple newly promoted sides.
The match is particularly easy to mix up with Ipswich–Sunderland, another Saturday 15:00 fixture. Everton–Crystal Palace was the other game at that time. Brentford–Tottenham took place later at 17:30, while Hull–Manchester United was the day’s lunchtime fixture.
