Which club hosted Leeds United in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?
Answer
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest hosted Leeds United in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match took place on Saturday, 22 August 2026, at the City Ground. Leeds United won 1–0, making the fixture one of the opening round’s narrowest victories.
This match was one of three fixtures scheduled for a 15:00 BST kick-off on the first Saturday. The other two were Everton versus Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town versus Sunderland. Those simultaneous fixtures formed the central block of Saturday’s schedule.
Nottingham Forest’s home ground, the City Ground, is located beside the River Trent in West Bridgford. The match is not the same as Hull City’s 2–0 win over Manchester United or Ipswich Town’s 2–1 win over Sunderland; those involved different hosts and scorelines.
