2026-27
THE FIXTURES ARE OUT...
We're not even halfway through the World Cup and the new season's fixtures are already out. We start at home for the third straight year, against Leeds (who've we've never played on opening day before) and that means we play at home at 3pm on Saturday for the first time since November 1st 2025 against Manchester United.
It's then a drive up to Liverpool for the first road trip of 2026-27 before another home game against lucky, lucky Spurs
No European competitions this year mean that we hopefully get to play a few more Saturday games, starting with that Opening Day fixture.
...AND SO IS PEREIRA
We haven't started the season, but already need a new manager. Vitor Pereira is relieved of his position, with Oliver Glasner looking like the main contender for the dug-out.

SATURDAY 3PM
To those of us of (cough) a certain age, there used to be a time when 3pm on a Saturday meant football and Forest.
Then came the Premier League with a regular Sunday game and then a Monday match, and now we're lucky if half our games are on a Saturday. Then we were in the Europa League last season so the majority of our Saturday schedule was bumped to Sunday meaning we played just SIX games at home on Saturday last season and only ONE at 3pm!
So I'm keeping track of when we last played on a Saturday at 3pm and when our next home game is:
- Last Home Game at 3pm Saturday:
- Sat Nov 01, 2025 (Manchester United) - 8 months, 1 day ago
- Next Home Game at 3pm Saturday:
- Sat Aug 22, 2026 (Leeds United) - 9 months, 20 days ago
