Premier League Announces Fixture Change for Liverpool vs. Nottingham Forest
The Premier League has officially announced a schedule adjustment for Liverpool's away match against Nottingham Forest, shifting it to Sunday, February 22, 2026, with a 2pm GMT kick-off at the City Ground. This change, confirmed by the league and Liverpool FC, directly impacts fans planning travel and attendance due to Forest's involvement in the UEFA Europa League knockout play-offs.[1][2][4]
Originally slated for Saturday, February 21, the fixture was rescheduled to accommodate Forest's Europa League play-off match on Thursday, February 19. Sky Sports will broadcast the game live in the UK, offering fans an additional viewing option amid the disruption.[1][2]
This is part of broader Premier League adjustments for February 2026, affecting three matches tied to European commitments. Manchester City's home game against Newcastle United moves from 12:30 GMT to 20:00 GMT on February 21 (TNT Sports), while Forest's trip to Brighton & Hove Albion shifts from February 28 to Sunday, March 1, at 14:00 GMT (Sky Sports).[2]
| Revised Fixture | Date & Time (GMT) | Broadcaster |
|---|---|---|
| Man City v Newcastle | Sat 21 Feb, 20:00 | TNT Sports |
| Nottingham Forest v Liverpool | Sun 22 Feb, 14:00 | Sky Sports |
| Brighton v Nottingham Forest | Sun 1 Mar, 14:00 | Sky Sports |
Liverpool supporters face revised travel plans, with the Sunday slot potentially easing midweek conflicts but complicating weekend logistics. An updated 2025-26 fixture list is available on Liverpool FC's site. Arne Slot's side navigates a packed February, including a home clash with Manchester City on February 8, but benefits from spread-out games.[1][3]
