Leeds United begin their 2026/27 Premier League campaign with an away fixture against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday, August 22. The Whites finished 14th last season with 47 points (11W-14D-13L) and will look to build on their recent form (LWDWD) under new management.
When and where is the match?
The game kicks off at 3pm BST at Nottingham Forest's City Ground. Forest, led by Oliver Glasner, will aim to replicate their strong finish last season, losing just one of their final 10 league games.
How to secure tickets
Tickets for Premier League matches are highly sought after. Away allocations are capped at £30 but are extremely limited. Fans should check Leeds United's official ticket portal for availability, as general sale is unlikely. Secondary markets like StubHub may offer last-minute options.
What to expect
Both teams have history of high-scoring encounters, with Forest winning 3-1 in both meetings last season. Leeds will need to tighten their defense after conceding 56 goals last term. Managerial changes at both clubs add intrigue to this early-season clash.
Recent form and context
Leeds United ended last season with a mixed run (LWDWD) and finished 38 points behind champions Arsenal. Their defensive record (56 goals conceded) will be a key focus as they aim to improve under new leadership.
