Which team did Leeds United defeat away from home in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

Leeds United defeated Nottingham Forest away from home in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

The match was played at the City Ground on Saturday, 22 August 2026, with Leeds winning 1–0. It was one of the opening round’s four away victories and the only match that day decided by a single goal without a reply.

Leeds had returned to the Premier League after winning promotion, while Nottingham Forest remained in the division. The result gave Leeds three points in their first match of the new campaign and left Forest without a goal.

The fixture is sometimes confused with Ipswich Town’s home win over Sunderland or Everton’s home win over Crystal Palace, both also played on the Saturday. The key identifying features are Leeds as the winner, Nottingham Forest as the host and a 1–0 scoreline.
