Stadium redevelopment updates:
Due to ongoing redevelopment works, the Main West Stand Gate is closed and there is no through access. Please allow extra time to navigate Elland Road and surrounding areas whilst works are continuing.
Our new North Stand Ticket Office will be open for the game. It is located at the bottom of Lowfields Road across from the Fan Zone. The Ticket Office will be open from 9am until 2.30pm.
Wellbeing Team:
Our team of Wellbeing Officers will be working in each stand to support fans with various health and wellbeing matters at Elland Road for every home game. You can identify them through the light blue bibs they wear and if you need to get hold of a member of the Wellbeing Team for any help, please just ask your nearest steward.
If any supporters would like to use the prayer room, sensory room or quiet room, please contact matchday.safeguarding@leedsunited.com so they can assist and book in a time slot for you, when needed.
Matchday Incident Text Service:
The club has a zero-tolerance policy towards any inappropriate or dangerous behaviour, along with any form of discrimination (language and gestures) or tragedy chanting, and you could be breaking the law.
Forms of discrimination include but are not limited to racism, homophobia, sexism, antisemitism, or any other form of religious or political discrimination.
There are tough measures and sanctions in place across all English football leagues to tackle dangerous and illegal behaviours within football grounds, and this involves fans attempting to enter the pitch, as well as the use of pyros and throwing objects.
To report any incidents during visits to Elland Road, please text LEEDS along with any relevant information around the incident, your name and ticket details to 60006 as soon as you can. You will then receive an automated response which means that your report has been logged and will be looked into.
Travel to Elland Road:
We are asking all supporters to allow as much time as possible when travelling to the stadium, to try and help with traffic delays and congestion.
Please can all supporters also bear in mind when using bus services, cars or taxis to be careful when and where they are getting out of any vehicles. Those who disembark on the M621 and walk down the road are creating dangerous situations, and anyone who is blocking the roundabout, any junctions or pedestrian crossings are causing further problems with congestion.
As of the 2026/27 season, parking must be booked in advance of matchday on a game-by-game basis for all Leeds United home fixtures. There is no longer an option to pay on the day at any council car park, and supporters arriving without a pre-booked space will be turned away. Spaces for both cars and motorcycles cost £13.00 (includes a £1.00 booking fee). Parking spaces will be sold via the club’s online ticketing platform.
Digital car parking passes will be issued and must be downloaded to your phone's wallet in advance arrival and matchday. Please ensure your phone is fully charged and your ticket is saved to your wallet before setting off, as screenshots and email confirmations will not be accepted.
The Leeds United Park and Ride service will be in operation in partnership with Hunters Coaches. Sites are operated at Temple Green and Stourton with the service starting two and-a-half hours before kick-off. Please be aware that tickets cannot be purchased on the day, you must book in advance. Tickets can be purchased for all home matches, three weeks in advance of the fixture. Click here to purchase your Park and Ride tickets.

We would like to remind supporters that children under the age of two years will not be permitted entry into the ground due to Health and Safety reasons. Ticket holders aged two to 15 years must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 years or above and be seated adjacent in the stadium bowl. Unaccompanied children under the age of 16 years will not be admitted into the stadium.
