GOOD NEWS:Leeds United Approved to Expand Elland Road Into a 53,000-Seat Giant This summer.

Leeds United are officially thinking big — and building bigger. After securing full planning approval, the club will begin work this summer on a transformational expansion of Elland Road, lifting its capacity from 37,645 to an imposing 53,000.
This isn’t just construction. It’s a statement.
Elland Road is set to evolve into one of English football’s most intimidating, electric arenas — a modern coliseum designed to match the scale of Leeds United’s ambition. More seats mean more noise, more passion, and more unforgettable matchdays for one of the most loyal fanbases in world football.
The redevelopment will be carried out in phases, allowing Leeds to continue playing home matches at Elland Road while work progresses. When complete, the stadium will rank among the largest club grounds in the country — a clear signal that Leeds United are planning for a future where big nights, big crowds, and big moments are the norm.
For supporters, this is more than bricks and steel. It’s validation.
Leeds aren’t just dreaming — they’re building.
A bigger Elland Road. A louder Elland Road. A future-proofed Leeds United.
