Elland Road – construction description

Plans for the expansion of Leeds United’s stadium include the redevelopment of two stands – the west stand and the north stand. As a result, the stadium’s capacity will increase to 53,000 seats, placing the venue among the ten largest football stadiums in England.

The project closely resembles the redevelopment of Liverpool’s Anfield, which is not surprising given that both concept designs were created by the same architectural practice (KSS Group). The plans were unveiled in April 2025, shortly after Leeds United secured promotion to the Premier League.

The investment is planned to be delivered in two phases: the first will involve the redevelopment of the west stand (2026–2028), followed by the expansion of the north end (2029–2030). Early works began in May 2026.
