Elland Road redevelopment gathers pace as capacity increase to 53,000 begins | OneFootball

Redevelopment of Elland Road is well underway after the 2025/26 season concluded.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the project is due to be completed in 2030 and will lift capacity from 37,645 to 53,000, an increase of over 15,000.

Work is focused around the West and North Stands, including demolition of the West Stand ticket office and the removal of its floodlights.

A temporary structure behind the North Stand, expected to host corporate facilities during construction, had already started going up before the season ended.

Leeds City Council granted planning permission in January.

The old Portakabin used as away dressing rooms for visiting Championship and Premier League teams has been removed.

Supplied by York firm Britcab before the first season back in the top flight under Marcelo Bielsa to meet Covid safety measures, the cabins had remained on site.

The North Stand will be expanded, and photographer Gerard Binks has captured the latest scenes in a gallery from the site.
