It feels like the 2026/27 season has only just started for Leeds United and there is already an international break. Not only that, it’s an extended three-week break meaning two full weekends with no chance to watch Daniel Farke’s side in action.
A number of his players will represent their countries but for fans still craving that live football feel, fear not. Leeds and the wider region are full of well-supported non-league teams with home fixtures taking place this weekend or next.
In collaboration with Select Car Leasing, the YEP has taken a look at 11 non-league matches taking place within driving distance of Leeds over the next fortnight. We’ve also provided the round trip mileage, fuel and electric vehicle (EV) cost plus the price of a ticket.
All of the below games, including a tasty FA Cup qualifying round clash between Guiseley and Bradford Park Avenue, cost less in total than an Elland Road matchday ticket. Scroll down to see which games take your fancy and support your local non-league club.
