Leeds United won Nottingham Forest’s 2026–27 Premier League opener at the City Ground.
The match was played on 22 August 2026, with Leeds recording a 1–0 away victory. The result gave Leeds three points from their first match and made Nottingham Forest one of the opening weekend’s defeated home teams.
A 1–0 scoreline meant that Leeds kept a clean sheet while scoring the only goal of the match. It was one of the round’s narrowest results, alongside the other single-goal games involving Ipswich Town and Sunderland.
The fixture formed part of Saturday’s 15:00 BST group. It is distinct from the later Brentford–Tottenham match, which ended 3–0, and from Everton’s 2–0 victory over Crystal Palace at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
