Premier League confirm Leeds United vs Brighton date, kick-off time & TV details for final Elland Road clash
Leeds United welcome Brighton to Elland Road for the penultimate game of the Premier League season.
Leeds United’s final home game of the Premier League season against Brighton has been confirmed as a 3pm kick-off - albeit on a Sunday instead of a Saturday.
The Whites will play at Elland Road for the final time on Sunday, May 17 with in-form Brighton their visitors. Daniel Farke’s side will hope to have survival wrapped up by that point, allowing them to enjoy a final showing in front of a relaxed home support.
Sunday’s 1-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea leaves Leeds without any other commitments on that penultimate weekend. Due to the final at Wembley being played on Saturday, May 16, all league fixtures have been moved to avoid any clash.
Leeds’ home game against Brighton will therefore kick-off in the traditional 3pm slot - albeit 24 hours later than usual. With the game being on a Sunday, it is not bound by the Saturday blackout and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports as one of four matches starting at the same time, none of which involve a relegation rival.
The penultimate round of fixtures have been spread out, thanks in part to the FA Cup final commitments of Manchester City and Chelsea on the Saturday. Relegation rivals Nottingham Forest will travel to Manchester United on either the Friday evening or Sunday lunchtime, depending on their progression in the Europa League.
West Ham travel to Newcastle also on Sunday, but their game has been pushed back to a 5.30pm kick-off. With Tottenham going to FA Cup finalists Chelsea in their penultimate game, Roberto De Zerbi's side aren’t in matchweek 37 action until Tuesday, May 19.
