The countdown continues to Leeds United’s second season back in the Premier League - but how long now until the club’s first pre-season friendly and what are the summer key dates?
Seven weeks have now passed since Leeds ended their first season back in the country’s top flight with a final day 3-0 defeat at West Ham for whom victory was not enough to prevent relegation to the Championship.
Leeds, though, saw their Premier League status secured with three games left and there are now six weeks to go until the start of the 2026-27 Premier League season.
Ahead of the new campaign, the Whites have six pre-season friendlies arranged including two at Elland Road.
Here, we run through the full schedule of United’s pre-season matches including some early kick-offs as the club visit the USA and key dates both for the summer and the season itself.
