Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth kick-off time and how to follow the game

Nottingham Forest host their first Championship game of the season today as Bournemouth visit the City Ground.

It will be the first time Reds fans have been able to watch Forest play in the league at home since March 2020, with thousands looking forward to returning to the banks of the River Trent.

Here's how you can follow the action...

When does Nottingham Forest v Bournemouth kick-off?

Kick-off at the City Ground will be at the traditional Saturday time of 3pm.

Will the match be shown live?

The return of supporters to stadiums means EFL clubs must return to the pre-pandemic broadcasting rules.

This means the match will only be available to stream for domestic supporters if selected for live broadcast by Sky Sports.

This is not the case, however, with Peterborough United v Derby County (12.30pm KO) and Swansea City v Sheffield United (8pm KO) both picked for broadcast.

International supporters will be able to watch the match using Forest TV.

On the radio, there’ll be live coverage by BBC Radio Nottingham
