A reminder around supporter behaviour.
Leeds United would like to remind all supporters that the club does not tolerate any form of abusive or unacceptable behaviour at Elland Road.
The club will continue to do everything it can to protect players, staff and other supporters from discrimination and offensive language during the 2024/25 campaign, as we believe real fans do not discriminate or feel the need to act aggressively.
There are a series of measures currently in place, including policies, procedures and regulations, with the aim of improving behaviour for all those involved with the game and to ensure the actions of the minority do not spoil the game for the majority.
To challenge abusive language and unacceptable behaviour and gestures, including tragedy chanting, supporters will face stadium bans and potential criminal prosecution.
We are united against all forms of discrimination, including racism, homophobia, sexism, antisemitism and any other religious hate.
Football is for EVERYONE and anyone who is displaying any of the actions spoken about here are not welcome at Elland Road, and we will continue to work hard to eradicate these behaviours from the game we all love and put an end to the abuse people suffer.
All Leeds, Aren’t We?
Leeds United are back on home turf as they face Hull City in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday afternoon, and ahead of the match we would like to give supporters all of the key information they may need to ensure everyone is fully prepared for the fixture at Elland Road.

We would urge as many fans as possible to arrive in plenty of time for the game. Turnstiles will open at 1.30pm (kick-off is scheduled for 3pm).
The Home Fan Zone and Away Fan Zone areas will both be open from 1pm, with a variety of food and drink offerings available, including on all concourses and outside the East Stand.

Please ensure you have downloaded your Season Ticket or match pass to your Apple or Google Wallet before arriving at Elland Road, and ensure your smartphone is fully charged.
A screenshot of your mobile ticket or the email confirming your mobile ticket WILL NOT permit you entry into the stadium on a matchday. You need to download your mobile ticket from the link in your booking confirmation email. If you have an android phone, please also ensure that your NFC is switched on in your settings.
Wellbeing Team:
Our team of Wellbeing Officers will be working in each stand to support fans with various health and wellbeing matters on matchdays at Elland Road. You can identify them through the maroon bibs they wear, and if you need to get hold of a member of the Wellbeing Team for any help, please just ask your nearest steward and they will ensure one comes to meet you at an agreed area.
If any supporters would like to use the prayer room or sensory room, or if they need a quiet space during a matchday, please contact wellbeing@leedsunited.com so they can assist and book in a time slot for you where needed.
