Which scoreline did Nottingham Forest record against Leeds United on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

The story behind the answer

Nottingham Forest lost 0–1 to Leeds United on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The fixture was played at the City Ground on Saturday 22 August 2026. Leeds therefore began the season with an away victory, while Forest started with a narrow home defeat.

The result was one of the opening round’s smallest winning margins. Leeds scored once and kept a clean sheet, producing a one-goal away win rather than a draw or a multi-goal victory.

Leeds United were among the 20 clubs in the 2026–27 Premier League, while Nottingham Forest also retained their place in the division. The result can be confused with Hull City’s home win over Manchester United or Ipswich Town’s 2–1 victory over Sunderland, but the Forest–Leeds match finished 0–1. In the league’s results table, the score is recorded from Forest’s home perspective.
