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.

8. August 12 - Leeds vs Man Utd
Friendly number four is much closer to home, with Leeds facing Manchester United at Croke Park in Dublin. It's set to be a huge day for two well-supported clubs in Ireland and Farke's side will hope to replicate their historic 2-1 win at Old Trafford. | Local Library
9. August 22/23 - Premier League opening weekend
Leeds don't know who they'll face in their 2026/27 opening fixture yet, but they know roughly when it'll be. The Whites beat Everton 1-0 through Lukas Nmecha's late penalty last year. | Getty Images
10. September 1 - Transfer window closes
We're returning to an 11pm deadline again this summer, allowing Leeds what could be an important extra few hours to recruit. Last year saw a late push for Fulham's Harry Wilson collapse at the death, just before an earlier 7pm shutoff. | Local Library
