Premier League football match between Nottingham Forest and Fulham at the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest take on Fulham at the City Ground on Saturday 2 January 2027, a New Year's Day weekend fixture that brings the London side up to Nottingham. It's a home game for Forest, so the City Ground will be the place to be if you're following the Reds through the winter months.
Coming so close to the turn of the year, it's one of those early January games that usually finds the squad still shaking off the festive break.

It's a standard Premier League clash, with Forest as the home side and Fulham travelling up from London.
For anyone planning their trip, the match is scheduled for 15:00 UTC, so it's a mid-afternoon kick-off on a Saturday. That puts it right in the heart of the footballing weekend, with plenty of time to get to the ground and back without it cutting into your whole day. The City Ground sits right on the banks of the Trent, and on a January afternoon, that riverside location is part of the experience.
