Nottingham Forest will host Brentford on the opening weekend of the 2025-26 season.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have two newly promoted clubs in their first six fixtures as they will then face Crystal Palace, West Ham, Arsenal, Burnley, and Sunderland. There will be a rough spell between February and April when they encounter Liverpool, Brighton, Manchester City, Fulham, Tottenham, and Aston Villa.
After tailing off towards the end of last season and missing out on the Champions League, Forest have been handed a big-name run-in, with Sunderland, Chelsea, Newcastle, Manchester United, and Bournemouth capping off their campaign.
