Leeds United was founded in 1919. The club enjoyed its golden era in the 1960s and ’70s, winning two league titles, and returned to the Premier League after a 16-year absence by winning the Championship in the 2024-25 season.
Leeds United is a Premier League club based in Leeds. Their home ground is Elland Road, with a capacity of around 37,645.
Seating Guide
Elland Road is made up of the Don Revie Stand (North, “the kop”), Jack Charlton Stand (East), Norman Hunter Stand (South), and John Charles Stand (West, currently under redevelopment).
Tickets
The safest way to buy tickets is directly through the club’s official website. Popular matches are often prioritized for season-ticket holders before general sale, so check availability as soon as your travel dates are set.
Released in 1972 to mark the club’s FA Cup final run, ‘Marching On Together’ is Leeds’ defining anthem, still sung by the full crowd before every home game at Elland Road over 50 years later. Building slowly before erupting into its chorus, the song has become such a symbol of civic pride that other sports teams across the city have adopted it too.

💡 Insider Tips
🚌 Getting Around
It’s about a 30–40 minute walk from Leeds railway station, or roughly a 10-minute taxi ride (about £20). City buses 51, 52, 55, 55C, 65, and 75 also run there. Matchday shuttle buses (R2, R3) operate too, but note that MCard, MetroCard, and West Yorkshire Day Rover tickets aren’t valid on them.
🏨 Lodging
There isn’t a major chain hotel within walking distance, but Premier Inn-style lodging exists about a 25-minute walk from the stadium. The Premier Inn Leeds City – Elland Road in Holbeck (about 1.3km away) is relatively close.
🎟️ Tickets — required since promotion
Since promotion, the “My Leeds” (£50/adult) and “My Leeds+” (£75/adult) memberships are essentially prerequisites for buying tickets, and away tickets are also sold only to members. Overseas members receive their membership packages via a European distribution center with no customs fees.
🗺️ Tourism Tie-in
The stadium tour (about 90 minutes) starts at Billy’s Bar in the South Stand and finishes at the club shop, with a 10% discount lanyard given to participants.
💡 Insider Tips
Smoking and vaping are banned entirely inside the stadium, allowed only in designated areas at halftime. Away fans are seated in the upper southeast corner of the John Charles Stand (about 1,600 seats).
