Leeds United 2026/27 fixtures release, season start and end dates, Christmas schedule pledge | OneFootball

Leeds United are preparing for a second Premier League season, with key 2026/27 dates set for fixtures, kick-off and the finale.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the fixture list will be published on Friday, June 19 at 10am.

Daniel Farke’s side ended their first year back with a solid 14th place, eight points above the drop. Survival was sealed with three games to spare, and a nine-match unbeaten league run was halted 3-1 at West Ham, who were still relegated.

The new season starts on Saturday, August 22, one week later than 2025-26. The timing allows 89 clear days from the end of the current season and 33 days from the World Cup 2026 final.

The final round is on Sunday, May 30 with simultaneous kick-offs. It falls a week before the UEFA Champions League Final on Saturday, June 5.

The 2026/27 schedule comprises 33 weekends and five midweek rounds. It will be set to avoid clashes with UEFA club dates where possible, and across Christmas and New Year no two rounds will be staged within 60 hours, honouring commitments to ease festive congestion within an expanded international calendar.
