Elland Road Overview

Home of Leeds United, Elland Road (LS11 0ES) is south-west of the city centre just off the M621. Most supporters arrive by public transport then walk the final stretch. Leeds Station is around a 35–40 minute walk; matchday shuttle buses and Park & Ride services operate on busy fixtures — always check the latest before you travel: Matchday Guide • Directions & Parking.

Matchdays

Arrivals & Departures

  • Rail & shuttle: Trains to Leeds Station, then walk (~35–40 mins) or use the city-centre matchday shuttle when running. Check the club’s Matchday Guide for timings.
  • Park & Ride: Event services typically run from Temple Green and Stourton with priority routes; there’s also the Elland Road PR1 site for regular days. See Access Statement and WY Metro – Elland Road P&R.
  • Walking & bus: Signed pedestrian routes operate around Elland Road; local buses serve the A643 corridor. Always allow extra time near kick-off and full-time.

Food & Quick Eats

Concourse kiosks and matchday stalls cover the classics; expect queues 60–90 minutes pre-kick-off, so plan snacks early.

Post-Match Pick-Up Tips

  • Agree a meet outside the tightest cordons — e.g., along Elland Road away from the main turnstiles or towards Lowfields Road — then walk 10–15 minutes to meet your driver.
  • When city-bound queues build, consider using Temple Green or Stourton Park & Ride to disperse, or walk into town before onward travel.
  • Expect phased egress and temporary road controls; build in buffer time after the final whistle.

Tours

Go behind the scenes at Elland Road — typical routes include the players’ tunnel, changing rooms (when available), pitchside and museum/history stops. Availability varies on event days; some seasonal dates are added.
