Leeds United have announced major changes to the parking
set-up around Elland Road as they prepare to welcome fans back for games.
The Premier League club’s iconic stadium is undergoing
redevelopment work, with changes to the West Stand in the process of being
made.
Leeds have obligations relating to traffic management and
must look to try and reduce the entry times into car parks around the vicinity
of the ground.

In order to do so, the club will manage and operate council
car parks on home matchdays. The process will be digitised and as a result, all
car park bookings must be made in advance. Spaces will be sold via the club’s
online ticketing platform and these arrangements will be in place for the
upcoming pre-season friendly matches.
Leeds have also confirmed the Fullerton Car Park will not be
in use for the 2026/27 campaign due to the work being done on the West Stand.
The club have secured replacement parking off-site.
A spokesperson for Leeds said: “The club and the council
continue to work together on development proposals for the ground, surrounding
area, and matchday operations.
“These new arrangements are part of wider travel plan
arrangements for match days aimed at preventing vehicles queuing back from car
parks onto the public highway, which will aid the overall traffic congestion
situation.
“There will be a number of further announcements in due
course in relation to car parking and other changes at Elland Road over the
upcoming season and we thank supporters for their patience whilst the ongoing
redevelopment works take place.”
Leeds will return to Elland Road on August 8 to host
Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig in a friendly. They will then welcome FC Augsburg
to LS11 on August 15 before entertaining Brentford in their first home game of
the Premier League season on August 29.
