The Ground
Elland Road, located in the Beeston district of Leeds, has been the proud home of Leeds United AFC since the club’s formation in 1919.

For generations of Whites supporters, Elland Road has been a place of passion, pride, and unforgettable moments, with its aura felt by players and fans alike.
With a capacity of around 37,800, Elland Road combines tradition with the raw energy of one of the country’s most vocal fanbases.

The Kop (Don Revie Stand) is the beating heart of Leeds support, where chants thunder across the ground and push the team forward. The West Stand houses the players’ tunnel, dugouts, and hospitality, while the South Stand provides further seating and the away allocation, ensuring matchdays carry a charged, competitive atmosphere.
Located just a couple of miles from Leeds city centre and easily accessible from the M621 motorway, Elland Road is not only a football stadium but a landmark of Yorkshire identity. More than just bricks and concrete, it is a shrine to Leeds United’s proud history and enduring spirit, a true cathedral of English football.
