Nottingham Forest vs Coventry City Biglietti

Kick-off information

Nottingham Forest vs Coventry City is a Premier League fixture at the City Ground in Nottingham, kicking off at 17:30 on Saturday 19 September 2026. The historic ground, home to Forest since 1898, holds 30,404 supporters on the banks of the River Trent.

A local rivalry renewed

Nottingham Forest and Coventry City sit roughly 25 miles apart in the East and West Midlands, and matches between the two carry a regional edge even when both clubs are focused on their own Premier League ambitions. Forest have re-established themselves among the division's established names in recent seasons, while Coventry have pushed for a return to the top flight after a long absence, making this an intriguing meeting for both sets of supporters.

Seating at the City Ground

The City Ground's compact, traditional layout means fans in every stand are close to the pitch, with the Trent End historically the most atmospheric section for home supporters. Away fans are housed in a corner of the ground, and the Bridgford Stand along the side offers a clear, central view of the action. Ticketsfootball.net compares prices for this fixture across resale partners including StubHub, Viagogo, Hellotickets, Football Ticket Net, Gigsberg and SportsEvents365, so fans can review options before deciding where to sit.

Nottingham Forest's upcoming fixtures

After hosting Coventry, Nottingham Forest travel to Selhurst Park for Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest, before returning to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal. A trip to Portman Road for Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest follows, along with an away game at Brentford and a home meeting with Manchester City.

Coventry City's schedule

Coventry City face a busy month themselves, travelling to face Newcastle United before hosting Tottenham Hotspur, then Fulham, and finally Sunderland at the Coventry Building Society Arena, a stretch of fixtures that will show how well they can compete against established Premier League opposition.

Why it matters

Both sides are part of the same competitive tier of the Premier League this season, and early points against a Midlands rival can help settle nerves before tougher fixtures later in the year. The City Ground remains one of English football's most storied venues, having hosted two European Cup-winning Forest sides in the early 1980s.

Given the local interest in this fixture, checking resale listings in good time is a sensible approach for fans hoping to secure a seat before availability tightens closer to matchday.
