Football trips to Nottingham Forest 2025/26

Planning a trip to see Nottingham Forest this season is straightforward when you can compare what's available in one place. On this site, you'll find options from around 15 different companies — ranging from sellers offering individual match tickets to operators putting together full travel packages with flights and hotel included. The main advantage of comparing here is that you get a clear overview of what each company includes and at what level, not just the price. Some packages cover a single match weekend, others can be built around specific fixtures. Once you've found something that suits you, the purchase is completed directly on the seller's website. Payment methods, cancellation policies and what's included in the price vary between companies, so it's worth reading the details before committing. Buying through one of the listed partners is a reliable way to secure your place — getting a ticket directly through the club requires membership and is far less straightforward.

Compare football trips to Nottingham Forest

When comparing football trips to Nottingham Forest, the price is obviously a factor, but the content matters just as much. A cheaper option might only include a match ticket, while a more complete football tour could cover accommodation close to the ground, transport and sometimes extras like a stadium tour or pre-match hospitality. The companies listed here work with different types of products, so the comparison is really about finding the right fit for your trip rather than just the lowest number. Some travellers want a no-fuss weekend where everything is sorted; others just need the ticket and will handle the rest themselves. Both are covered. It's also worth checking what the package actually says about hotel location and match category — these details are usually listed on the seller's page and can make a real difference to how the trip plays out in practice.

Nottingham Forest tickets

Nottingham Forest tickets are in demand, particularly for home fixtures against bigger Premier League clubs or local rivals. The sellers listed on this site offer match tickets across different stands and price categories, and what's available will depend on the specific fixture. Tickets for Nottingham Forest through one of the listed partners come with the assurance that you have a confirmed seat — unlike going through the club directly, which requires a membership and still doesn't guarantee you'll get one. Match tickets bought via a travel agency or ticket seller here are processed through their own allocation systems, so availability and seating location varies. Some sellers will specify the stand or area; others offer a category with a general location. If the stand matters to you — for example, if you want to be in a specific end or avoid the away section — check what's stated before buying. More detail is available on each seller's individual page.

Supporter guide to Nottingham Forest and City Ground

City Ground sits right on the banks of the River Trent, and the area around it is fairly compact. For pre-match drinks, most fans head to Trent Bridge or the stretch of pubs along Radcliffe Road. The Trent Bridge Inn is a well-known stop close to the ground and fills up early on matchdays. The Globe on London Road is another option that tends to attract a mixed crowd of home and away fans. Visiting fans are generally directed to specific areas, so it's worth checking the away end arrangements before you arrive — stewards will point you in the right direction. Arrive at least 45 minutes before kick-off, especially for bigger games, as the queues at the turnstiles can be slow. The stadium is compact and the atmosphere carries well, so even seats further back in the stands give a decent view. Bring cash if you plan to buy food or drinks inside, as not all concession stands take card.

Getting to City Ground

City Ground is about a mile and a half south of Nottingham city centre, which makes it walkable in around 25–30 minutes from the main train station. Most people coming from the centre walk across Trent Bridge — it's a straightforward route and you'll be following the crowd on matchday. Nottingham's tram network (NET) doesn't serve the ground directly, but the city centre tram stops are a good starting point before walking. Several bus routes connect the city centre to the Trent Bridge area — the Nottingham City Transport routes along London Road and Radcliffe Road are the most useful. Taxis and rideshares are available but expect delays after the final whistle. If you're driving, parking near the ground is limited on matchdays and the surrounding streets are often controlled. The Nottingham Forest website lists official parking locations, but arriving by foot or public transport from the city centre is the easier option for most visitors.

City Ground

City Ground has been Nottingham Forest's home since 1898, sitting on the south bank of the River Trent. The stadium has a capacity of approximately 30,000 and has undergone significant development in recent years, most notably the renovation of the Peter Taylor Stand and ongoing work to modernise other areas of the ground. The four stands — the Brian Clough Stand, the Trent End, the Bridgford Stand and the Peter Taylor Stand — each have their own character. The Trent End is the traditional home end where the loudest support tends to gather. Away fans are usually housed in part of the Bridgford Stand. The riverside location gives the ground a distinctive setting, and on a clear day the view from certain parts of the stadium across the Trent is genuinely unusual for English football. The stadium is compact enough that there's not a bad seat in the house in terms of proximity to the pitch, and the noise builds quickly when the home side are pressing.

Package trip or tickets

Whether a package trip to Nottingham Forest makes sense depends on how much you want to organise yourself. A travel package typically bundles the match ticket with hotel accommodation and sometimes flights, which saves time and means you're not juggling separate bookings. For a single-night trip, the difference in effort between a package and booking everything separately isn't always huge — but for a longer stay or a group trip, having it coordinated through one seller is genuinely easier. The companies listed here offer different levels of package, from basic ticket-plus-hotel combinations to more comprehensive arrangements. It's also worth noting that some sellers specialise in packages while others focus purely on match tickets, so the comparison reflects that range. If you're travelling with family or a group where everyone needs a seat together, a package or a ticket seller who can confirm adjacent seats is usually the better route than trying to piece it together independently.

Nottingham Forest's rivalries

Nottingham Forest's most significant rivalry is with Derby County, a fixture known as the East Midlands Derby. The two clubs are separated by around 15 miles and have a long history of competitive meetings going back over a century. It's a rivalry that runs deep in both cities and generates a strong atmosphere whenever the fixture comes around. Forest also have a notable rivalry with Leicester City, another East Midlands club, and matches between the two tend to be tightly contested. Notts County, based just across the Trent in Nottingham itself, represent a local rivalry — though the two clubs haven't met regularly at senior level in recent years due to the difference in divisions. The Derby fixture remains the one that defines the season for many Forest supporters, and tickets for those games are among the hardest to secure.

History and great players

Nottingham Forest were founded in 1865, making them one of the oldest professional football clubs in the world. The club's most celebrated period came under Brian Clough, who led them to back-to-back European Cup victories in 1979 and 1980 — a remarkable achievement for a club of Forest's size. After years in the lower divisions, Forest returned to the Premier League in 2022 and have been building steadily since. In more recent times, the club has attracted players from across Europe and beyond, and the squad has grown considerably in ambition and profile. Among the English players to have represented Forest in the modern era, Jude Bellingham came through the club's academy before moving to Birmingham City and later becoming one of England's most prominent international players — his early development is closely associated with Forest's youth setup. The club's history is also well represented at the Nottingham Forest Museum inside City Ground, which is worth a visit if you're in the area on a non-matchday.

Other activities in Nottingham

A football trip to Nottingham gives you access to a city that has more going on than most people expect. The Lace Market area in the city centre is worth exploring — it's a historic neighbourhood with good restaurants, independent bars and some decent architecture from the city's industrial past. Nottingham Castle has been recently renovated and offers a solid overview of the city's history, including the Robin Hood connections that the city leans into heavily. The Caves of Nottingham, a network of sandstone caves beneath the city, are genuinely interesting and not something you'll find in many other places. For food, the city centre has a solid range of options from casual to sit-down, with Hockley being a good area for independent places. If you're staying a full weekend, the National Ice Centre and the waterfront along the canal near the station are easy ways to fill time between the match and your journey home. Nottingham is compact enough that most of this is walkable from the city centre.
