Leeds United has begun major redevelopment works at Elland Road following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.
The project aims to expand the stadium's capacity from 37,645 to approximately 53,000 seats.

Initial construction activities are concentrated around the West and North Stands. Workers are demolishing the West Stand ticket office and removing stadium floodlights.
Drone footage from the CC Overview YouTube channel shows that the Britcab Portakabins, used as temporary away team dressing rooms since Marcelo Bielsa's tenure, have been dismantled and removed.
The club has also removed team crests from the banqueting suite at the rear of the West Stand.
A temporary corporate hospitality structure was erected behind the North Stand before the season ended.
The construction project received official planning permission earlier this year, according to reports from Football Ground Guide.
