Summary
Summary
Nottingham Forest take on Brentford in their English Premier League 2025-26 campaign opener at City Ground on Sunday (August 17, 2025). Watch the Nottingham Forest vs Brentford, EPL football match today live.
Forest, despite finishing seventh last term, earned a UEFA Europa League group stage spot following the demotion of League Cup winners Crystal Palace to the Conference League play-off round as a result of their multi-club ownership punishment.
That promotion, however, holds little importance for now as Nuno Espirito Santo's men look to begin the new domestic season on a bright note. And they usually do well, conservatively, playing out draws in the season-opening fixtures.
Up against Forest are the Bees, a side stung by the departures of their head coach, captain and other key players. Thomas Frank, who was at the helm for seven long years, left for Tottenham Hotspur, and captain Christian Norgaard is now wearing an Arsenal jersey.
With relatively unknown Keith Andrews taking charge, Brentford's first real challenge of the season would require an extraordinary effort from everyone. They finished 10th last season.
