Is Nottingham Forest Playing at Home Today?
Checking whether Forest are at home or away on any given day is straightforward if you know where to look. The club’s own Match Centre on the official website lists every fixture with a clear home/away tag, and the Premier League’s dedicated Forest page does the same with live updates during matchday.
How to check home/away status for today’s match
The official Nottingham Forest Match Centre lets you filter by season and competition. Each fixture displays the venue and kick-off time, so you immediately know whether the Reds are at the City Ground or on the road. The Premier League’s Forest page mirrors this information using an official data feed that media outlets rely on for accurate scheduling.
If you’re outside the UK, the Live Soccer TV Nottingham Forest page aggregates fixtures from all competitions alongside broadcast information, so you can see at a glance whether Forest are home or away and which channel carries the game in your region.
Ticket availability and travel plans depend entirely on whether the match is at the City Ground. Home fixtures sell out quickly for popular opponents, so confirming the venue early gives you the best chance of securing a seat.
City Ground home game details
Nottingham Forest have played their home games at the City Ground since 1898, making it one of the oldest grounds in English football still in continuous use by the same club. The stadium sits on the banks of the River Trent in West Bridgford, just across the water from Nottingham city centre.
The City Ground has a capacity of 30,445, placing it among the smaller Premier League stadiums — but that intimacy is part of its charm, with the famous Peter Taylor Stand delivering some of the loudest atmospheres in the top flight.

For home matches, the club’s ticket office page shows availability by stand and category. Visiting supporters typically receive a section in the Brian Clough Stand lower tier, with allocations varying based on expected demand.
How to Watch the Nottingham Forest Match Live Today?
Once you know when and where Forest are playing, the next question is how to watch. Broadcast rights for English football are fragmented across multiple platforms, and the right channel depends on which competition is being played and where you’re located.
TV channels broadcasting the match
In the United Kingdom, Nottingham Forest’s Premier League games are shown on Sky Sports and TNT Sports (Live-FootballOnTV). FA Cup ties rotate to BBC and TNT Sports, while Carabao Cup matches appear on Sky Sports and ITV (Live-FootballOnTV).
Across the Atlantic, US viewers find Premier League coverage split between NBC and USA Network, with additional games streaming exclusively on Peacock Premium (World Soccer Talk). FA Cup matches stream on ESPN+, and League Cup games land on CBS platforms and Paramount+ (World Soccer Talk).
One platform rarely carries every competition. If you want to watch Forest in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup from the US, you may need subscriptions to Peacock, ESPN+, and Paramount+ simultaneously — plus a linear TV package for NBC or USA Network games not on Peacock.
Official live streams and radio coverage
The club’s official website and the Match Centre provide links to any official streaming partnerships for each fixture. For matches not selected for TV, ESPN’s live coverage pages often offer text-based commentary so you can follow the action in real time.
BBC Sport provides free text updates for all Premier League matches, making it a reliable fallback when no TV broadcast is scheduled. Forest’s own radio partnership with BBC Radio Nottingham delivers ball-by-ball commentary for every game, home and away.
The official Nottingham Forest YouTube channel uploads match highlights and the Matchday Pass series, which offers pitchside views and extended edits of key moments. This content is particularly useful for catching up after a match you’ve missed.
What Nottingham Forest Games Are on TV Today?
Finding today’s televised Forest fixtures requires knowing which aggregator to check and understanding how the TV picking process works in English football.
Today’s televised matches across competitions
Nottingham Forest TV schedules span three main competitions: the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Carabao Cup. Live-FootballOnTV lists upcoming Forest fixtures across all three, updated as selections are made. At the time of writing, the next UK TV fixture for Forest was listed as “TBC” — a reminder that selections are confirmed 1–2 weeks ahead.
This rolling confirmation process means the schedule changes frequently. A match originally set for a Saturday 3 p.m. kick-off might be moved to Sunday lunchtime for Sky Sports, or Saturday evening for TNT Sports, depending on the broadcast calendar.
How to find full weekly TV listings
For comprehensive UK TV listings, Live-FootballOnTV is the most dedicated option, specifically tracking which Forest games appear on which channels. Live Soccer TV offers a global view, showing Forest broadcast information for multiple regions including North America, India, and Australia.
There is no single master list that covers every competition and every region simultaneously. Bookmark both Live-FootballOnTV for UK coverage and Live Soccer TV for international listings, and check both a week before any match you want to watch.
International broadcasters carry different competitions. A single Forest fixture might appear on Sky Sports Main Event in the UK, NBC in the US, JioHotstar in India, and Stan Sport in Australia (ESPN). Kick-off times shift accordingly: a 12:30 p.m. BST Sunday start translates to 7:30 a.m. ET in the US and 5:00 p.m. IST in India.
When Is Nottingham Forest’s Next Premier League Game?
Finding the next Premier League fixture is the most common reason fans land on these pages. The challenge is that matchdates can change at short notice due to television selections, European competition calendars, or cup replays.
Date and opponent of the next match
The official Nottingham Forest Match Centre is the most reliable starting point, listing all upcoming Premier League fixtures with opponents and venues. The Premier League’s Nottingham Forest fixtures page uses an official data feed and is updated in real time as results are confirmed.
As an example, one recent Forest fixture — Manchester United at home — was scheduled for Sunday, May 17 at 12:30 p.m. BST (ESPN). That match was to be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event in the UK, NBC in the US, JioHotstar in India, and Stan Sport in Australia, illustrating how a single Forest game spans multiple regions.
Kick-off time and venue
Kick-off times are confirmed alongside TV selections. Premier League games in the UK typically fall into one of four broadcast windows: the Saturday 12:30 p.m. slot (TNT Sports), the Saturday 5:30 p.m. slot (Sky Sports), the Sunday noon slot (Sky Sports Main Event), or the Sunday evening slot (Sky Sports). Midweek fixtures run at various times depending on the broadcast partner.
Venue information for Premier League matches is listed on both the club’s and league’s official sites. Home games are played at the City Ground; away fixtures rotate across the other 19 Premier League stadiums. For away matches, the club’s ticket office page shows how to apply for away allocations.

What Are Nottingham Forest’s Last 10 Results?
Recent results tell you how Forest have been performing and whether the team is in form heading into the next fixture. They also reveal patterns — whether Forest tend to win at home, struggle on the road, or score late goals — that can inform how you approach betting the match or simply managing your expectations as a fan.
Recent match scores and outcomes
The Premier League’s Forest page lists all results for the current season, with scores, dates, and venues. For a more detailed breakdown including goal scorers, the NBC Sports match reports provide full coverage.
One recent result: West Ham United 1–2 Nottingham Forest (NBC Sports). The match saw West Ham take an early lead via a Murillo own goal in the 14th minute, before Nicolás Domínguez equalised in the 55th minute and Morgan Gibbs-White completed the comeback in the 89th minute. The game kicked off at 3 p.m. ET on a Tuesday at London Stadium and was televised in the US on USA Network.
Another result documented on the club’s official YouTube channel: Forest beat Manchester United 1–0 at home, with Anthony Elanga scoring the decisive goal (Nottingham Forest FC (YouTube)).
Form guide and league position implications
To read form across recent matches, sort the last 10 results into win/draw/loss streaks and check whether the goals are coming from open play, set pieces, or penalties. Forest’s recent comeback win against West Ham — with a stoppage-time winner from Gibbs-White — suggested late-game resilience, while the clean sheet against Manchester United indicated defensive solidity at the City Ground.
Forest’s form at home versus away matters for ticket buyers. If recent results show Forest winning comfortably at the City Ground but struggling on the road, a home fixture is the better experience — and likely to be more expensive on the secondary market.
The club’s YouTube channel also hosts supporter-run “watch along” streams for certain matches, such as a live Forest Fan TV stream for a pre-season friendly against Monaco (Forest Fan TV (YouTube)). These fan streams provide real-time commentary and fan discussion but do not show live broadcast footage due to rights restrictions — making them a supplement for community interaction rather than a substitute for official coverage.
The pattern: Forest’s recent results show a club capable of grinding out wins against stronger opponents but vulnerable to early conceded goals. For fans following the form guide, the key metrics are clean sheets at home and second-half scoring frequency.
