Tickets to Nottingham Forest 2025/26

Nottingham Forest tickets are available for Premier League matches at City Ground, one of English football's oldest and most recognisable grounds, sitting on the banks of the River Trent in Nottingham. Forest have been competing in the top flight since their promotion in 2022, and the club draws supporters from across the East Midlands and beyond. Through footballticketscompare.com, fans can compare options from established travel agencies and ticket companies that list availability for home fixtures throughout the season. Whether you're attending for the first time or returning after years away, this guide covers what you need to know.

Where to buy Nottingham Forest tickets

The primary route is through Nottingham Forest's official website, where members and season ticket holders get priority access before general sale opens. For matches that sell out quickly — particularly fixtures against Arsenal, Manchester City or Liverpool — partners we list often have remaining availability after the official allocation is gone. These partners use e-ticket delivery, physical mail or mobile vouchers depending on the purchase date and match. Book early for high-profile fixtures, as availability through any channel narrows significantly in the final weeks before kick-off. Always check the delivery method before completing a purchase, especially if you're travelling from abroad.

Sections and price levels

City Ground is divided into four main stands: the Brian Clough Stand (main stand), the Trent End (south, home supporters), the Peter Taylor Stand (north), and the Bridgford Stand (east). Away supporters are allocated a section of the Bridgford Stand. Home ticket prices vary by stand and seat location, with the Trent End generally among the more affordable options and the Brian Clough Stand carrying higher prices for central seats. Premium and hospitality areas sit within the main stand. Away allocations are typically limited to around 3,000 seats, so away fans should act quickly when tickets go on sale.

Match packages with accommodation

Several partners offer match packages that combine a Nottingham Forest match ticket with hotel accommodation in Nottingham city centre. Travel packages include options ranging from one-night stays to full weekend breaks, which suits fans travelling from outside the region. Some packages also cover coach or rail transfers from major cities. Nottingham has a reasonable range of hotels within walking distance of the ground or a short tram ride away. These packages are particularly useful for European visitors or fans attending a midweek fixture who want to simplify logistics. Compare what each package covers before booking, as inclusions vary between providers.

City Ground, Nottingham

City Ground has been Nottingham Forest's home since 1898 and holds approximately 30,000 supporters. It sits directly on the south bank of the River Trent, with Trent Bridge cricket ground visible nearby — an unusual setting for a football stadium. The ground is around a mile from Nottingham city centre and is accessible by bus or the NET tram system, with stops within a short walk. Parking near the ground is limited on match days, so public transport is the practical choice for most visitors. The surrounding area includes pubs and food options along the riverfront, which fills up steadily before kick-off.

Nottingham Forest season 2025/2026

Forest are competing in the Premier League for the 2025/26 season, facing all the top-flight clubs across a 38-game schedule. Home fixtures against sides like Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham tend to attract the most attention and sell out the fastest. The East Midlands derby against Leicester City, when both clubs are in the same division, is always a fixture that goes quickly. Forest have shown they can compete consistently at this level, and the squad has been strengthened over recent windows. Keep an eye on the fixture schedule when it's released, and prioritise early booking for the biggest home games.

Ticket categories and prices

Nottingham Forest use a category system — typically Category A, B and C — where prices reflect the perceived importance of the fixture. Category A covers the biggest Premier League matches, such as those against title-contending clubs, and carries the highest prices. Category C applies to lower-profile fixtures and offers the most affordable entry. Concession prices are available for seniors and under-18s at the official club box office, though availability through secondary partners may not always include these reductions. Hospitality and premium seating sit outside the standard category system and are priced separately. Check the category before purchasing, as the difference between A and C can be significant.

Authorised sellers

An authorised seller is one that has a formal agreement with the club or a licensed intermediary to resell tickets within defined terms. Nottingham Forest's official box office is the only fully authorised primary source. Footballticketscompare.com lists both authorised resellers and other established ticket companies that operate in the secondary market. Secondary market sellers are not officially affiliated with the club, but many are long-standing businesses with verifiable track records. Buyers should review seller ratings, check guarantee policies, and confirm ticket format before purchasing. Using a company that offers a fulfilment guarantee reduces the risk of problems on match day.

Club history

Nottingham Forest were founded in 1865, making them one of the oldest football clubs in the world. The club's peak came under Brian Clough, who led Forest to back-to-back European Cup titles in 1979 and 1980 — a remarkable achievement for a club of Forest's size. They also won the First Division title in 1978 and four League Cups. Stuart Pearce, Roy Keane and Peter Shilton are among the notable players who represented the club. The rivalry with Derby County, known as the East Midlands derby, is the most significant local fixture. After years in the lower divisions, Forest returned to the Premier League in 2022 and have remained there since.
