With a successful season in the Premier League last term under Nuno Espirito Santo, where they secured a seventh-place finish, Nottingham Forest will be looking to continue their hard work in the top flight when they take to the City Ground this term.
Under the mentorship of Nuno Espirito Santo, Forest looked like a dangerous team last term and now with the manager's contract extended, they will aim to not only do well in the domestic league but also the European competition, as they have secured a place in the Conference League qualifiers, with their playoff-round opponent to be unveiled in August.
Fans look set to reward their success with another show of loyalty on the banks of the River Trent, so how do you get a Premier League ticket to catch Nottingham Forest in action? Let GOAL talk you through your options for seeing them in 2025-26, including where to find tickets and how much they’ll cost.

With a rich history encompassing both domestic and international triumph over the years, Forest remain linked in the memory of the soccer world with their time under the leadership of Brian Clough, arguably the greatest English football manager of all time.
Under the ex-Derby County man, their fortunes were transformed from second-tier strugglers to European Cup winners, though it has taken several decades since for the City Ground to see those glories even vaguely recaptured following Steve Cooper’s arrival at the helm.
Home to the club since 1898, their stadium has been the subject of redevelopment rumours, including an expansion in 2019 from 30,455 to 38,000 with the new 10,000-seater Peter Taylor stand and an extra 3,000 seats in the Bridgford end. It's love from fans keeps the Euro 1996 host venue running - and they’ll hope to taste further success there this season too, under Nuno Espirito Santo.
