Leeds United friendly – what you need to know
Leeds United are gearing up for their next friendly match and fans are already talking about it. A friendly is a chance for the team to test new players, try out tactics and build fitness before the league starts. It also gives supporters a relaxed way to see the squad in action without the pressure of a competitive game.
When and who is Leeds playing?
The club has announced a pre‑season friendly against a strong English side on July 20. The opponent is a mid‑table Championship team that likes to play open football, which should give the Leeds attackers plenty of chances. A second friendly is set for early August against a European club visiting the UK for a tour. Both matches will be at Elland Road, so you can enjoy the familiar atmosphere.
Tickets, streaming and what to bring
Tickets go on sale next week on the official Leeds United website. Early‑bird prices start at £15 for adults and £10 for youths. If you’re buying online, make sure you have a stable internet connection and your credit card ready – the site can be busy the moment sales open. For fans outside the UK, the friendly will be streamed live on the club’s YouTube channel, free of charge. Grab a blanket, a snack and a drink, and you’ll have a perfect match‑day at home.
Getting to Elland Road is easy. The nearest train station is Leeds, just a short walk away. If you prefer driving, there are several parking lots around the stadium; just arrive early to grab a spot. Public transport is also a good option – bus routes 1, 2 and 4 stop close to the ground.
What to expect on the pitch? Leeds manager will likely give younger players a chance to start, while senior stars may come off the bench. Look out for the new signing who has been training hard and wants to prove himself. The friendly will also be a good chance to see how the team's new formation works in real time.
Fans love friendly matches because they’re less intense and more entertaining. You’ll see a lot of running, long balls and chances that don’t always appear in league games. It’s also a perfect time to meet other supporters, share stories and soak up the pre‑season buzz.
After the game, keep an eye on the club’s social media for post‑match analysis. The coach usually shares a short video with highlights and key takeaways. This helps you understand which players might start the season and what the team needs to improve.
In short, the Leeds United friendly is a great way to get excited for the upcoming season. Whether you watch at the stadium or online, you’ll get a solid look at the squad’s shape, new signings and tactics. Mark the dates, grab your tickets and enjoy the football – it’s the perfect kickoff to another Leeds United campaign.
