Nottingham Forest look to maintain an unbeaten record as they host the Cottagers.

Nuno Espirito Santo's in-form Nottingham Forest will look to extend their unbeaten start to the season as they host Fulham on Saturday.

The Tricky Tress have registered nine points from their opening five matches in an impressive run that has seen them claim a shocking win against Liverpool at Anfield and a battling draw against Brighton, but has yet to see them claim a victory at home. 

They come up against a Fulham side that have also made a solid start to the new campaign, notching up eight points in their four matches since their opening day defeat of Man United. 

Where to Watch

Nottingham Forest face Fulham on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the City Ground. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. BST local time, making it a 10 a.m. ET or 7 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada and a 12 a.m. AEST kickoff in the early hours of Sunday in Australia.

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch game as it happens wherever you are in the world.

How to Watch in the US

Saturday's Nottingham Forest vs. Fulham match is streaming on Peacock. You'll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account to catch the game live. 

Peacock offers two Premium plans, and after the recent price increases, the ad-supported Premium plan costs $8 a month, and the ad-free Premium Plus plan is $14 a month.

How to Watch in the UK

No broadcaster has the rights to show this game live in the UK, due to the traditional Saturday 3 p.m. kickoff blackout, which prohibits matches being shown in the region at that time in order to protect attendances throughout the English football pyramid. 

That also means that if you're in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you're unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home, thanks to geoblocking. 

There's one option to get around this, however. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.

How to Watch in Canada

If you want to stream this EPL game live in Canada, you'll need to subscribe to Fubo Canada. The service has exclusive rights to every Premier League fixture once again this season.

Fubo is the go-to destination for Canadians looking to watch the EPL this season, with exclusive streaming rights to every match. It costs CA$30 per month, though you can save some cash by paying quarterly or annually.

How to Watch in Australia

Football fans Down Under can watch EPL matches live on streaming service Optus Sport, which is showing every single Premier League fixture of the 2024/25 season live in Australia.

With exclusive rights to screen all EPL matches live this season, as well as German Bundesliga and Spanish La Liga games, streaming service Optus Sport is a particularly big draw for Aussie soccer fans.

If you're already an Optus network customer you can bag Optus Sport for a reduced price, with discounts bringing the price down to as low as AU$7 per month. If you're not, a standalone monthly subscription to the service starts at AU$25.

Team News & Injuries

Forest are missing Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare through injury, while Willy Boly is a doubt. Morgan Gibbs-White is suspended after his red card at Brighton last weekend and that is a big blow as his driving runs and creativity from central midfield fuel Forest’s counters. The likes of Hudson-Odoi and Elanga will be asked to step up and carry more of the creative load.

The Cottagers only have one injury issue with Carlos Vinicius out. Raul Jimenez has nailed down the starting spot up top for now, with the Mexico star rolling back the years and looking lethal in and around the box. Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Adam Traore and Pereira have been excellent at creating chances and getting crosses into the box, while USMNT left back Antonee Robinson is having a fine start to the season.

Match Preview

Two solid teams scrapping, but no breakthrough yet.

Forest will have some of their creative spark missing without Gibbs-White, while Fulham will get chances on the counter. Nottingham Forest 1-1 Fulham.
