Elland Road opened in 1897 and Leeds United have played here since the club was founded in 1919. It holds 37,645 and is made up of four stands from four different decades — the East Stand was the largest cantilever stand in Europe when it opened in 1993. The West Stand is being replaced by a new one built over the top of the existing structure, part of a phased expansion towards roughly 53,000, and Leeds confirmed in July 2026 that the old stand stays at full capacity throughout this season.
Elland Road is being expanded in phases towards roughly 53,000 seats, with West Stand work under way since June 2026. Leeds United confirmed in July 2026 that the existing West Stand will be used at full capacity throughout 2026-27, so the ground operates at 37,645 this season.
The East Stand's upper tier is the biggest single block of seats in the ground and the most elevated view; the lower tier in front of it is close and flat. The north end — everyone still calls it the Gelderd End — is where the singing comes from. The South Stand takes the away support in part of its structure. The West Stand is the oldest and the one with the most character and the most compromised views, and it is the one with construction going on over it, so it is worth a careful look on the map.
