Leeds United's Premier League Return Packed With Drama and Big Tests
So, the Premier League 2025/26 fixtures are finally out, and Leeds United fans—strap in, because this season is going to be intense! After two seasons in the Championship, Leeds are back in the top flight, and they’re not easing into it either. The opening game? A prime-time showdown under the Elland Road lights against Everton on Monday, August 18 at 8 PM BST. What a way to announce our return.
That first month is no walk in the park either. After facing Everton, Daniel Farke’s men travel to Arsenal on August 23, followed by a home fixture against a strong Newcastle side on August 30. It’s a quick reminder that the Premier League doesn’t wait for anyone to settle in.

But the challenges don’t stop there. November is shaping up to be a serious test of character. Leeds will face a brutal stretch against last season’s top sides—Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool—all within the span of just a few weeks. That run could very well define the trajectory of our season. If we can emerge from it with some momentum, confidence will be sky high going into the second half.
The festive schedule offers no breathers either. Just before Christmas, Crystal Palace visit Elland Road, then it’s up to Sunderland, and finally, we wrap up the year with a tough trip to face defending champions Liverpool on December 30. That’s a serious end-of-year gauntlet.
Now let’s talk rivalries—because the clash everyone’s been eyeing is, of course, against Manchester United. That first meeting comes right at the start of 2026, at Elland Road on January 3. The reverse fixture at Old Trafford is scheduled for mid-April. These are always fiery affairs, but with Leeds now trying to reassert their Premier League presence, the intensity will be off the charts.
Looking further ahead, Leeds will close out their campaign away at West Ham on May 24, with all final matches kicking off at 4 PM BST. Before that, key fixtures in May against Burnley, Tottenham, and Brighton could be absolutely crucial—especially if we’re in a battle for survival or, who knows, chasing something more ambitious.
This fixture list is full of drama, tests, and moments that will define the identity of this new-look Leeds side. With Daniel Farke at the helm and a passionate fanbase behind them, there's real belief that Leeds can not only survive but thrive. One thing’s for sure—there will be no dull weekends for Leeds United supporters this season. Let’s get ready for a wild ride!
