After spending two years in the Championship, Leeds supporters will be counting down the days to when they play host to Everton in their opening game of the new Premier League season. Leeds already know their first match will take place in front of the Sky Sports camera, having been moved to Monday, August 18, for an 8pm kick off.

It is the period after that - the festive period from December 13 - which will be more vital, where Leeds face teams where points are more likely to be won. Brentford away, Crystal Palace at home and Sunderland away either side of Christmas Day offers a good chance to build confidence of survival.

LEEDS United will kick off their 2025-26 Premier League season with a home game against Everton in the top-flight’s first Monday night televised fixture on Monday, August 18.
