Leeds United endured a disappointing end to their 2025/26 campaign following a 3-0 defeat at West Ham - but what a season it’s been all-round. Daniel Farke’s side survived in relative comfort eventually, their 47 points good enough for an impressive 14th place finish.
The Whites looked doomed for the drop in November but Farke’s change of system brought results and hope, with an eight-game unbeaten run before Sunday pulling them clear of trouble. Defeat at the London Stadium arrived with safety long secured and a build up of key injuries.
With an impressive Premier League return now complete, Leeds fans can enjoy their summer and there is plenty to look forward to before the 2026/27 campaign starts. Take a look below and get those key dates down in your diary.
