Nottingham Forest will kick off their 2024-25 Premier League campaign in August on home soil and with a visit from Bournemouth. Forest, who avoided relegation in the closing stages of last season to secure a third straight term back in the top flight, will be looking to build on that in the new campaign under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Forest begin their season facing off against the Cherries at the City Ground before they then head to the south coast themselves to take on newly promoted Southampton in their first away fixture of the season. Forest then welcome Nuno’s former club Wolves, who make the short trip across the Midlands at the end of August – the day after transfer deadline day.
The Reds’ first dealing with a ‘Big Six’ team comes at Anfield, when they travel north to take on Arne Slot’s Liverpool after the first international break of the new season in September. Forest’s first meeting with East Midlands rivals Leicester City, who have returned to the top flight at the first time of asking, comes at the King Power Stadium at the end of October.
Forest host Tottenham Hotspur on Boxing Day, although that fixture’s date and time is yet to be confirmed, and they head to Everton and Wolves to fulfil their festive schedule. Forest have a busy May; because of Euro 2024, there is a later start to the season and so a later end – they visit Crystal Palace, entertain Leicester, travel back to London to battle West Ham in their penultimate game and then host Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea on the final day of the season.
