Matchday Incident Text Service:
The club has a zero-tolerance policy towards any inappropriate or dangerous behaviour, along with any form of discrimination (language and gestures) or tragedy chanting, and you could be breaking the law.
Forms of discrimination include but are not limited to racism, homophobia, sexism, antisemitism, or any other form of religious or political discrimination.
There are tough measures and sanctions in place across all English football leagues to tackle dangerous and illegal behaviours within football grounds, and this involves fans attempting to enter the pitch, as well as the use of pyros and throwing objects.
To report any incidents during visits to Elland Road, please text LEEDS along with any relevant information around the incident, your name and ticket details to 60006 as soon as you can. You will then receive an automated response which means that your report has been logged and will be looked into.
Travel to Elland Road:
We are asking all supporters to allow as much time as possible when travelling to the stadium, to try and help with traffic delays and congestion.
Please can all supporters also bear in mind when using bus services, cars or taxis to be careful when and where they are getting out of any vehicles. Those who disembark on the M621 and walk down the road are creating dangerous situations, and anyone who is blocking the roundabout, any junctions or pedestrian crossings are causing further problems with congestion.
As of the 2026/27 season, parking must be booked in advance of matchday on a game-by-game basis for all Leeds United home fixtures. There is no longer an option to pay on the day at any council car park, and supporters arriving without a pre-booked space will be turned away.
Digital car parking passes will be issued and must be downloaded to your phone's wallet in advance arrival and matchday. Please ensure your phone is fully charged and your ticket is saved to your wallet before setting off, as screenshots and email confirmations will not be accepted.
