Leeds United have found out their fixtures for the 2025-26 Premier League campaign.
Daniel Farke‘s side are back in the top flight after a two-season absence but face a tough task to remain in the division.
The first look for the majority of Elland Road supporters would have been the clash with Manchester United.

Leeds handed omen for Man United clash
Leeds and Man United have a historic rivalry, but have not played much in recent years as the Whites were back in the Championship.
Since 2010, the sides have faced off eight times, with the LS11 outfit winning just once and the Red Devils claiming victories and two draws.

The sides will face off on 3 January. The last time that the Yorkshiremen played on that date, it was the same opposition and they came out on top 1-0 in a 2010 FA Cup clash.
Reporter Pete Graves relayed that information live on Sky Sports News (18 June), as he said: “The media gentleman, Jack, tells us that January 3rd 2010, Leeds famously beat Manchester United here in the FA Cup.
“You look down the fixture list, when do they play Man United this coming season? It is January 3 again, perhaps a lucky omen for Leeds United.”
Host Tom White was left amazed by that revelation, saying: “Oh, wow.”

Leeds must focus on survival, not Manchester United
Obviously, getting one over on Ruben Amorim’s team would be a huge bonus for Farke’s side.
However, their focus must be on retaining their top-flight status, rather than the rivalry with the Lancashire-based outfit.
Date Fixture Result Venue
3 January 2010 Man United v Leeds 0-1 Old Trafford
20 September 2011 Leeds v Man United 0-3 Elland Road
20 December 2020 Man United v Leeds 6-2 Old Trafford
25 April 2021 Leeds v Man United 0-0 Elland Road
14 August 2021 Man United v Leeds 5-1 Old Trafford
20 February 2022 Leeds v Man United 2-4 Elland Road
8 February 2023 Man United v Leeds 2-2 Old Trafford
12 February 2023 Leeds v Man United 0-2 Elland Road
The last eight games between the sides.
The survival battle will be very tough and attention must be on securing their targets to improve the squad, rather than the fixture list.
The Yorkshire outfit are reportedly in for Udinese defender Jaka Bijol, Strasbourg midfielder Habib Diarra, and will also need upgrades at goalkeeper, left-back and perhaps on the flanks.
Dan James is a solid option on the right, but there are doubts over whether Tottenham will let Manor Solomon, who starred on loan last season, leave this summer, so an alternative may need to be found if Thomas Frank decides that he wants to keep the Israel international around.
It promises to be an exciting few months for Peacocks supporters, with the potential for new additions and the fact that they will be back at the elite level but if they want to stay there, they need to get it right in the market.
