Leeds United’s 2025/26 season came to an end on Sunday but for some, the hard work will continue into June or July. Daniel Farke’s side lost 3-0 at West Ham but it mattered little, with survival long secured ahead of a big summer on the international front.
The 2026 World Cup, held across the USA, Canada and Mexico, kicks off in just two weeks and four Leeds players have been called up to represent their countries on the greatest stage of them all. A few others, meanwhile, will be taking part in two end-of-season friendlies next month.
Players like Gabriel Gudmundsson will return from injury while a relentless season continues for near ever-presents like Joe Rodon or Ethan Ampadu. Below is a round-up of every international fixture - friendly or competitive - set to involve a Leeds player this summer.
