Leeds United summer guide: transfer window, fixture release and USA friendlies | OneFootball

Leeds United supporters can mark their calendars with a string of summer milestones, from the World Cup opener to transfer business, fixture release and a two-game USA tour.

Daniel Farke’s side closed 2025/26 with a 3-0 loss at West Ham yet finished 14th on 47 points. An eight-game unbeaten run after November lifted them clear, with safety secured despite mounting injuries. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the off-season timetable is as follows.

June 11, the World Cup begins across the USA, Canada and Mexico, with Switzerland’s Noah Okafor and American Brenden Aaronson among Leeds players involved. June 15, the transfer window opens, and early business could be affected by the tournament. Lukas Nmecha’s arrival was confirmed on that date last year.

June 19, Premier League fixtures are released at 10am on a Friday, with attention on the opening weekend, Boxing Day and the final day.

July 19, the World Cup final takes place at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where a Leeds player could feature.

July 25, Leeds face Championship outfit Wrexham at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa to kick off their USA tour.

July 30, the Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey hosts Leeds against fellow Premier League side Sunderland, with both teams building momentum for their second top-flight campaign.
