Under manager Nuno Espírito Santo, Nottingham Forest will aim to build on their impressive showing from the 2024–25 Premier League season, where they emerged as a surprise top-four contender. After narrowly avoiding relegation the season before, Forest strengthened their squad with key signings like Nikola Milenković in defence and Elliot Anderson in midfield. Their attacking play—led by a prolific Chris Wood, who finished the season with 18 league goals—was a major factor in their rise up the table. A 3-1 victory over Leicester City in October 2024 highlighted their progress, while a 2-1 loss to Fulham on February 15, 2025, was a rare setback in their European qualification push. Defensive solidity and effective counter-attacking strategies proved pivotal to their success.
During the 2025–26 Premier League season, Nottingham Forest will look to continue their momentum and challenge for a spot in Europe.
In addition to the Premier League, Nottingham Forest will also participate in the EFL Cup, starting from the second round in late August 2025, and the FA Cup, beginning in the third round in January 2026.

How to Watch Nottingham Forest live in Australia
Stan Sport is now the exclusive home of Premier League football in Australia through to at least 2028, replacing Optus Sport from the 2025/26 season. It’s the only service where you can stream every Arsenal and Premier League match live, or watch replays and condensed highlights on demand — all ad-free.
You can catch every match from anywhere in Australia using the Stan app, available on Apple TV, Android TV, smart TVs, mobile, tablet, and desktop. Alongside the live games, Stan Sport delivers expert commentary, match analysis, and exclusive football content.
To access EPL coverage, you’ll need:
- A Stan base plan (starting from $12/month), and
- The Stan Sport add-on ($15/month)
That’s $27/month for complete Premier League access. While Stan Sport currently doesn’t offer a free trial, all content is available from the moment you subscribe — no Optus mobile plan required.
How to Watch EPL Club TV replays in Australia
If your schedule is too busy to watch Premier League matches live there’s other options besides Stan Sport. For example, you can watch every Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal EPL match on replay with Club TV, three 24/7 dedicated football channels exclusively offered via beIN SPORTS.
The dedicated EPL channels are: MUTV (Manchester United), LFCTV (Liverpool), Chelsea TV and Arsenal TV. This is also beneficial to Nottingham Forest fans, because when their club have played any of these four teams, the replays will be available just hours later.
With Club TV on beIN SPORTS, you’ll have access to over 180 Premier League Club TV games in the current season. Additionally, beIN are the exclusive Australian providers of live Serie A, Bundesliga, the CONMEBOL Libertadores, Ligue 1, Carabao Cup and EFL Championship matches.
Which means that when Nottingham Forest participates in the Carabao Cup starting from August 2025, you will be able to watch all of their matches live.
In Australia, fans can watch beIN SPORTS and their programming by signing onto the beIN SPORTS Connect website directly and paying a relatively small monthly fee, or via their current 7-day free trial offering for new customers.
Must-see Nottingham Forest football matches
Games between Forest and Crystal Palace might not have always been contested in the Premier League yet with their success against the South East London club, there’s every reason why Steve Cooper should be targeting three to six points from these games.
Given Jesse Lingard chose Nottingham Forest over West Ham United, there’s no doubt those games will take extra importance in terms of the overall season. The Englishman essentially revived his career with the Hammers having sat on the sidelines for so long at Old Trafford but turned down the option to rejoin the London club, with media outlets he was offered a much more lucrative contract in the East Midlands.
