After months of build-up, Nottingham Forest will begin their 2025/26 Premier League season this Sunday (August 17) with a home fixture against Brentford.
Those lucky enough to be inside the sold-out City Ground on Sunday will be hoping that Forest can improve on last season’s 7th-place finish.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men will also participate in the Europa League this season, with those fixtures yet to be confirmed.
Among those die-hard Forest fans looking forward to the new season are several famous faces.
Like all clubs, Forest has its fair share of celebrity fans who will be hoping for success during the campaign.
Ahead of the 2025/26 season, we’ve taken a look at 13 celebrity Forest fans in order of their reported net worth.
Explore the 13 famous faces below:
5. Lad Baby - $2m
The social media influencer turned Christmas number 1 maestro went viral early in his career for smuggling his baby son into the City Ground. Seen regularly at the City Ground with friends and family, it is fair to say that Forest are even more important to him than the sausage rolls that he and his wife have sung about for their Christmas number 1s. | Getty Images
6. Ariel Helwani – $8m
The MMA and boxing correspondent is the newest member of the Garibaldi faithful. Before the season began Helwani decided to start following a Premier League side, choosing Forest because of the history and logo. He has named Brennan Johnson in his top five athletes outside MMA and has confessed to sitting in bed watching interviews with the ‘charming, well-spoken young man.’ | Getty Images
7. Leigh Wood - $10m
Born in Gedling, everyone knows that Leigh Wood is one of our own. The former WBA featherweight champion is still hoping to fight at his beloved City Ground and he seeks to reclaim his title after losing his recent bout to Mauricio Lara. | Getty Images
8. Vicky McClure - $17m
Whilst there is debate over whether McClure is a Forest or a County fan, the iconic British actress was in attendance with her film producer husband Jonny Owen on that infamous day on May 29th 2022. As well as being a director at the club, Owen produced the fantastic ‘I Believe in Miracles’ documentary which recounted Clough’s European heroics. An absolute classic for those who have yet to see it. | Getty Images
