Easily the biggest game left of the 2024-25 Premier League season, top-five rivals Nottingham Forest and Chelsea collide in Sunday’s blockbuster gameweek 38 battle.
A coveted place in the Champions League could be at stake for the winner – if there is one – and here, Sports Mole provides details of how to tune into the event.
What time does Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea kick off?
Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea kicks off at 4pm on Sunday, as is the case with every Premier League match taking place on the final day of the campaign.
Victory for the hosts would be particularly historic, as it would mark the first time that they have ever won as many as 20 matches in a 38-game top-flight season.
Where is Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea being played?
Nottingham Forest have the honour of hosting Chelsea at their City Ground venue on the last day, which will be either elated or deflated at the full-time whistle based on the outcome of the game.
The Blues prevailed in this exact fixture 3-2 last season, but it has been over 100 years since Chelsea won back-to-back away league games against the Garibaldi, last doing so in 1922.

The stakes could hardly be higher when it comes to Champions League football, and as Chelsea are currently sat in fifth spot, the Blues know that victory will confirm their place in next season’s premier competition in Europe.
Meanwhile, nothing but a win will do for seventh-placed Nottingham Forest due to Newcastle United’s superior goal difference, but even victory will not suffice for the top five if the Magpies beat Everton and Aston Villa overcome Manchester United.
