Leeds United won 1–0 away at Nottingham Forest during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match took place on Saturday, 22 August 2026, at the City Ground. Nottingham Forest were the home team, while Leeds United began their campaign with an away victory.
The fixture was one of the three matches scheduled for the standard 15:00 Saturday kick-off. Leeds’ narrow win was the only opening-round result decided by a single goal, apart from the 2–1 wins recorded elsewhere in the round.
Leeds United were among the established clubs in the division, while Nottingham Forest entered the season under new manager Oliver Glasner. The result should not be confused with Brighton’s 4–0 win over Aston Villa or Manchester City’s 2–1 home victory over Bournemouth, both played on Sunday.
