NOTTINGHAM FOREST will move to a full-time professional model from the 2025-2026 season.

Ahead of the upcoming 2024-2025 campaign, Forest confirmed that their first team will have 18-full time professional players alongside a “small number of part-time players,” before becoming fully professional by 2025.

Forest currently play their trade in the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division, the third tier in the women’s football pyramid, and will play their 11 home games at the City Ground next season.
