Leeds United to face Nottingham Forest in Premier League opener

Leeds United is set to face Nottingham Forest in the opening match of the 2026-27 Premier League season at the City Ground. Leeds United, managed by Daniel Farke, enters the season following a 14th-place finish and has bolstered its squad with signings including James Trafford, Tarik Muharemović, and Nico Elvedi.

Nottingham Forest, led by manager Oliver Glasner, aims to improve after a 16th-place finish last season. The club has added players such as Ousmane Diomande and Xaver Schlager to its roster.

Ahead of the season, talkSPORT pundit Adrian Durham made a notable prediction, suggesting that Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur will both finish higher in the Premier League table than Manchester United next season.
