Which club hosted Leeds United in the 15:00 Saturday match of the 2026–27 opening round?

Nottingham Forest hosted Leeds United in the 15:00 Saturday match of the 2026–27 opening round.

The fixture was scheduled for Saturday, 22 August 2026, at the City Ground. It was one of three matches listed for the standard 15:00 kickoff, alongside Everton versus Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town versus Sunderland.

Nottingham Forest entered the season with Oliver Glasner as head coach. Glasner had been appointed after Vítor Pereira left the club in July 2026. Leeds United were the visitors and were among the established clubs in the opening-round schedule.

This fixture is easy to mix up with Everton versus Crystal Palace because both were home matches involving clubs from the previous Premier League campaign. The key distinction is the opponent: Nottingham Forest hosted Leeds, while Everton hosted Crystal Palace.
