Liverpool and Nottingham Forest are playing their 2026–27 Premier League match at Anfield on Saturday, August 29, 2026. Kickoff was scheduled for 12:30 BST, with live coverage planned on TNT Sports in the UK.

Liverpool’s confirmed starting lineup included Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Jérémy Jacquet, Miloš Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Viktor Muñoz, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

This is Liverpool’s first home match of the 2026–27 season. According to official Liverpool data, Liverpool have recorded 17 wins and five draws in their first league home match of the season at Anfield since 2003. However, Nottingham Forest won both of their last two away matches against Liverpool.

At the time of verification, Nottingham Forest’s Dan Ndoye had scored in the 24th minute, putting his team 1–0 ahead of Liverpool. As the match was still in progress at that time, the final score and any subsequent goals, substitutions, or injuries cannot be confirmed from this material alone.

Sam Barrott was appointed referee, with Michael Oliver serving as VAR.
