Nottingham Forest vs FC Midtjylland kick-off time

Europa League - 1/8

City Ground, Nottingham

Nottingham Forest vs FC Midtjylland will kick off on 12 Mar 2026 at 14:00 EST and 20:00 GMT. 

Match preview

Forest had to get past Fenerbahçe to get to the round of 16. It's their first participation in Europe in three decades, which might feel like a distraction from their Premier League survival push. Vitor Pereira's side are winless in four games, but did pick up a respectable 2-2 draw at Man City in their last Premier League outing.

Midtjylland have been one of the Europa League's surprise packages, claiming a third-place finish in the league phase after winning six of their eight matches, including a 3-2 win against Forest away from home. The Danes are unbeaten in competitive action in 2026 (W5, D3), winning each of their last three away games. Confidence in the camp will be high.

Key stats & injury news

Forest has no fresh injury concerns, but remains without long-term absentees Chris Wood, Willy Boly, John Victor and Nicolo Savona. Midtjylland will be without the suspended Darío Osorio. Top scorer Franculino is also out. 

Forest have won just one of their last eight matches (D3, L4) at the City Ground, losing both here under their new boss.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Nottingham Forest vs FC Midtjylland today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.
4. Start Streaming: Go to your broadcaster's website and app and enjoy the game.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
