On 1 September 2021, it was announced Spence would join Nottingham Forest on loan for the remainder of the season.[9] He scored his first goal for Forest in a 3-0 win over Birmingham City on 2 October.[10] Spence impressed in FA Cup victories over Premier League clubs Arsenal and Leicester City, scoring the fourth in a 4–1 victory over the latter.[11]

Spence was awarded the EFL Championship Player of the Month award for March 2022[12] as well as being nominated for the Goal of the Month award following his long range strike against Queens Park Rangers[13] which he was ultimately awarded.[14] Having also been nominated for the Championship Young Player of the Season, Spence made it a hat-trick of awards for March 2022 when he won the EFL Young Player of the Month award for the second time in his career.[15]

Spence played a vital role in Nottingham Forest's promotion winning side, and was featured in both the EFL Championship Team of the Season and the PFA Championship team of the season.[16][17]
