Nottingham Forest will begin the 2026/27 Premier League season under new FA regulations that increase minimum suspensions for discriminatory conduct to 10 matches. The club finished 16th last season with 44 points (11W-11D-16L), narrowly avoiding relegation by three points. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 16th in Premier League, 44 pts, 11W-11D-16L from 38 games, recent form DLDWW.
What are the new FA regulations?
The Football Association has introduced stricter penalties for aggravated misconduct, with players, managers, and staff now facing a minimum 10-match ban. This change aims to create a more inclusive environment across English football. Nottingham Forest, who scored 48 goals and conceded 51 last season, will need to ensure compliance as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
Transfer updates and competition
Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed Tottenham Hotspur's intention to keep Lucas Bergvall despite interest from Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest. The Italian manager highlighted the intense competition for places this season. With the transfer window closing on September 1, Forest fans will be watching closely as the club looks to strengthen its squad.
How to attend matches at the City Ground
Getting to the City Ground is best done via public transportation, with Nottingham railway station within walking distance. Buses and trams also serve the stadium on matchdays. However, securing tickets is challenging, as all season tickets are sold out. Members and season ticket holders get priority, with midweek and cup games offering slightly better availability.
Ticket availability for non-members
Non-members rarely have access to Nottingham Forest tickets, as most games sell out in advance. Occasionally, tickets may become available on the official website or secondary resale sites like StubHub, starting from £70. The club's recent form (0W-3D-2L in their last five matches) suggests a need for improvement as they aim to climb the table.
