Which scoreline was recorded in Nottingham Forest versus Leeds United on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

The story behind the answer

Leeds United beat Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match was played at the City Ground on Saturday, 22 August 2026. It formed part of the three-match group scheduled for the standard 15:00 Saturday kick-off time.

Because Leeds won by a single goal, the match was one of the weekend’s closest results. The clean sheet also meant Nottingham Forest began the season without scoring, while Leeds took three points from an away fixture.

The result is easy to mix up with Ipswich Town’s 2–1 win over Sunderland, another Saturday match involving a team returning to the Premier League. Unlike that game, Forest versus Leeds ended with only one goal and an away victory.
