How the warm-ups are going

The friendly results so far, before the league gets going. It steps aside once the real games begin on 21 August.

The season ahead · 2026/27

Survival is banked, and now Leeds want to kick on.

Leeds came straight back up as 2024/25 Championship winners and settled into a comfortable 14th on 47 points under Daniel Farke. Ethan Ampadu has signed a new long-term deal and stays as captain, and a quiet summer has added Harry Wilson and Tarik Muharemovic while Pascal Struijk moved on. The 2026/27 season has not kicked off yet, so every figure below still reads zero.

The countdown runs to the provisional 15:00 BST kickoff at the City Ground. The exact time and the broadcast pick are still to be confirmed.

How the season back went

Leeds spent 2025/26 proving they belonged, and 14th on 47 points was a settled return to the top flight after winning the 2024/25 Championship. Daniel Farke's side scored 49 and conceded 56 across the 38 games.

Happening now

The summer business, so far

This is the confirmed 2026 window at Elland Road, newest first. It has been a measured, net-negative summer, and the deadline is still to come in early September.

Maximilian Wober (Schalke 04), Isaac Schmidt (Young Boys) and Jack Harrison (New England Revolution) also moved on. Fees are approximate and vary by source, and the window stays open into early September, so more deals may follow. Everything is confirmed on the official site.

Team news

Injuries, suspensions and the confirmed eleven

It is pre-season, the 2026/27 campaign has not kicked off, and there is no honest team news to report yet. Confirmed lineups and any fitness or suspension calls land about an hour before kickoff, and this is where they will appear once they do.

The 2026/27 season

The 2026/27 Premier League season has not started yet, so every figure here is honestly zero. Leeds open away at Nottingham Forest on Saturday 22 August, and this page begins counting for real from that first whistle. Nothing below is a projection or a stand-in result.

All-time club records

These are Leeds' well-documented all-time records, the kind set into the club's history rather than any single season. Where a figure is not firmly established it is left out here rather than guessed at.

Records like these move only rarely. The club and the reputable statistics sites keep the definitive all-time lists in full, including honours, hat-trick makers and the complete appearance and scoring charts.

Honours

The trophy cabinet

Leeds United's major honours in the men's senior game, with the three top-flight titles at the heart of the collection. Almost all of it was won during Don Revie's golden era, and the counts and years below are the club's well established ones.

3 English top-flight titles 1968-69, 1973-74 and 1991-92
1 FA Cup Won in 1972 against Arsenal
1 League Cup Won in 1968 against Arsenal
2 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Won in 1968 and 1971 (an early European competition)
2 FA Charity Shield Won in 1969 and 1992
5 Second-tier titles 1923-24, 1963-64, 1989-90, 2019-20 and 2024-25

Beyond the trophies, three of the club's proudest moments came without a winner's medal. They are a real part of the Leeds story and worth setting down honestly.

2001 Champions League semi-finalists David O'Leary's young side reached the last four

Home games

Matchday at Elland Road

Everything for a home game: getting a ticket, the ground itself, getting there and parking, and where to eat and drink around it. For away days, the travel planner is further down.

Tickets

Getting a ticket

Elland Road is one of the harder tickets in the Premier League, with demand high and the season-ticket waiting list running into the tens of thousands. Tickets are offered to season-ticket holders and members first, before any general sale, with the biggest games decided by loyalty or ballot. We do not sell tickets and we do not list prices, because availability and pricing change through the season. Always buy through the club or an official channel, and use the club's own resale rather than the touts.

General sale

Buy tickets

The official ticketing site is where match tickets go on sale, where you join any waiting list and where you read the current terms. What is available depends on the game and how far members sales have gone, so buying direct is the only way to be sure a ticket is genuine.

Official ticketing
Membership

Membership and ballots

With season tickets in short supply, an official membership is the usual route in for supporters without one, giving access to priority sales windows and the loyalty points and ballots that decide who gets the most in-demand fixtures.

Membership options
Hospitality

Matchday hospitality

The club sells hospitality and premium matchday experiences at Elland Road, which are a different product from a general admission seat. Packages and what they include vary by fixture and are set out on the official site.

Hospitality on leedsunited.com
Resale

Official resale

When a game has sold out, season-ticket holders can list seats they cannot use through the club's official resale, and members can pick them up. It is the safe, sanctioned way to buy or sell a spare, and it avoids the risks of unofficial resale sites.

Ticketing information
Getting there & parking

Getting to Elland Road and parking

Elland Road sits in Beeston, a little under two miles south west of Leeds city centre, and it is easy to reach by road, rail and on foot. Leeds railway station is the main hub, about a mile and a half from the ground, from which it is roughly a thirty minute walk or a short bus or taxi ride, with a matchday shuttle bus usually running from the city centre. The nearest station to the ground is the small Cottingley stop, around a fifteen minute walk away. Leeds has no underground, so it is local trains and buses rather than a tube. Matchday parking around the stadium is limited and heavily restricted, with residents-only schemes on the surrounding streets, so an official or pre-booked space is by far the most reliable option if you must drive. Because arrangements and road closures change from game to game, the club's own travel page is the place to check the current details before you set off.
