Nottingham Forest fans will be hopeful that their big-money summer signings, Ousmane Diomande and Liam Delap, will be bedded-in and hitting top form by the time Coventry City arrive at the City Ground for a their Premier League match-up on Saturday, September 19.
Forest impressively turned over newly promoted Leeds United (3-1) and Burnley (4-1) last season and they'll be confident they can pose Coventry City, who are back in the top flight for the first time in 25 years, plenty of problems too.
When the sides last met in the Championship, five seasons ago, Forest held sway at the City Ground with Brennan Johnson and James Garner netting either side of the break for the hosts.

Nottingham Forest vs Coventry City takes place at the City Ground (Nottingham) on Saturday, September 19. with a scheduled 5.30pm BST kick-off.
How to buy Nottingham Forest vs Coventry City Premier League tickets
Multiple ticketing options are available for Premier League matches - from individual match tickets to season tickets and hospitality packages - managed through each club's official ticket portal or authorized travel partners.
Due to overwhelming global demand, anti-touting legislation, and 100% digital turnstiles, Premier League clubs allocate tickets through the following process:
- Season Ticket Holders & Debentures: Existing season ticket holders retain their seats or release unused fixtures back to the club.
- Paid Official Club Members (Ballot System): Traditional first-come, first-served online queues have been replaced by randomized ballot lotteries for paid club members (e.g. Red Memberships, One Hotspur, Official Membership). Members register during a set window weeks before the match to enter the draw.
- Official Ticket Exchanges (Resale): If a match sells out, members who missed out in the ballot can buy returned tickets at face value through the club's official Ticket Exchange.
- General Sale: Open sales to the non-member general public are virtually non-existent for Premier League matches.
If looking to source last-minute tickets, fans can also purchase tickets off secondary platforms, like StubHub.
How much do Nottingham Forest vs Coventry City Premier League tickets cost?
The cost of a Premier League ticket for the 2026/27 season varies widely depending on the host club, seating location, and fixture category:
- Age & Concession Tiers: Most clubs offer tiered pricing across Adult, Junior (typically U18 or U21), Student, and Senior categories, though discount percentages and age brackets differ from team to team.
- Match Categorization: Clubs classify fixtures into tiers (e.g., Category A, B, or C). Marquee matchups against top-six rivals or derby opponents fall into Category A, commanding the highest face-value prices.
- Seat Location: Central longside and lower-tier seats carry premium pricing, while upper-tier seats behind the goals offer more budget-friendly options.
- Official Membership Needed: To purchase home tickets at face value, nearly all Premier League clubs require each spectator to hold an active paid Official Club Membership to enter ballot lotteries or resale exchanges.
Away Ticket Pricing & Availability
The Premier League has officially extended the mandatory £30 price cap for away tickets through the 2026/27 season (and confirmed through at least 2027/28).
While away tickets are capped at £30, they are among the hardest tickets in global sport to acquire. Away allocations are extremely limited and typically sold exclusively to top-tier season ticket holders with maximum loyalty points - they virtually never reach general sale or basic membership draws.
