Leeds United's first match at Elland Road lands on Leeds Festival weekend - 2026/27 fixtures
It will be a busy weekend in the city 🎶⚽
Leeds United will play at home over the August Bank Holiday weekend, it has been announced, when the city will host thousands of revellers for Leeds Festival.
The Whites’ fixtures for their second season of Premier League football under Daniel Farke have just been released this morning.
It all begins again on August 22 when Farke takes his men to the City Ground for an opening day clash with Nottingham Forest.
The first home game at Elland Road is against Brentford on Saturday August 29 - when thousands of revellers with day tickets will be heading to Bramham Park for the third day of Leeds Festival.
However, TV broadcast selections have yet to be confirmed, which could result in the fixture being moved to Friday August 28, Sunday August 30 or Monday August 31.
Leeds Festival takes place between Thursday August 27 to Monday August 31.
Significant traffic delays - particularly on the A1(M) and A64 - are expected across the weekend.
