Leeds’ three-year stay in the Premier League came to an end last month as they embark on a bid to return to the big time at the first time of asking in 2023/24. The club have outlined their intentions ahead of the new season, stating in their press release on relegation that every attempt will be made to earn promotion during this coming campaign.
The Whites are guaranteed to play 23 away fixtures this season, including trips to far-flung, seldom-visited destinations such as Plymouth Argyle’s ironically named Home Park, as well as some more familiar haunts such as Leicester City’s King Power Stadium or Southampton’s St. Mary’s Stadium.
Based on historical away supporter designations and expected gates at clubs up and down the division this year, here is an educated estimation of the away allocation Leeds will be permitted at all 23 away grounds the team visit in 2023/24.

8. Portman Road: 2,100
Portman Road holds just shy of 30,000 but allocates just 2,100 to away fans. Even if it is one of Leeds' longest trips of the season just four games into the new campaign, expect this one to sell out - unless Ipswich opt to increase the number of away fans permitted. United are there on August 26. (Photo by Stephen Pond/Getty Images) Photo: Stephen Pond
9. King Power Stadium: 3,000
Three thousand at the King Power, that's your lot. Always a good number down at Leicester, even if results and performances haven't been great there last two seasons. Leeds visit on November 4. (Photo by Alex Burstow/Arsenal FC via Getty Images ) Photo: Alex Burstow
10. Riverside Stadium: 2,000
Just up the road, we're back at the Riverside this season but not until April 20 - the third-last game of the season. Could be a big one. (Photo by Naomi Baker/Getty Images) Photo: Naomi Baker
11. The Den: 3,000
London calling to the far-away towns. Now war is declared and battle come down. Ok, maybe not war, the YEP does not condone that. But it's going to be spicy. Leeds visit Millwall on September 16. (Photo by Alex Davidson/Getty Images) Photo: Alex Davidson
12. Carrow Road: 2,000
The away end at Norwich is directly opposite the press box on the other side of the ground, which gives a great view of Leeds United 'limbs' when the team hit the back of the net. Let's hope to see plenty of that amongst the travelling 2,000 when Leeds go to Norfolk on October 21. (Photo by Stephen Pond/Getty Images) Photo: Stephen Pond
