Leeds United new season key dates: Opening games, transfer deadlines, international breaks

The warm-up games are finally done – and the key dates will now present themselves thick and fast for Leeds United’s new Championship campaign.

Daniel Farke’s Whites took in their final pre-season friendly on Saturday with the Elland Road visit of La Liga side Valencia who were condemned to a 2-1 defeat as Leeds made it a perfect four wins out of four in pre-season. But now the real stuff starts, Farke’s side now just a matter of days away from beginning the new Championship campaign itself.

It all starts with next weekend’s visit of newly-promoted Portsmouth as part of a particularly busy week on the key dates front. Here, in chronological order, we run through the main big dates as far as the 2024-25 Championship season is concerned.
