Fans will be able to celebrate the club's heroic promotion this bank holiday with an open-top bus parade.
Fresh from securing a return to the Premier League, Daniel Farke and his winning squad will be taking to the roof of a bus as they embark on the winning parade this weekend.
They'll be making their way around a loop of Leeds City Centre next Monday 5 May.
The parade will follow a mile-long route that will take in the full length of the Headrow as well as City Square, Boar Lane, New Market Street and parts of Wellington Street and Vicar Lane.
Leeds United are scheduled to arrive in the city at around 1pm, with the parade set to last between an hour and a half.
It's expected that a lot of fans will be in attendance, due to this there will be no single focal point for the event. Instead, supporters are being encouraged to line as much of the route as possible and give the team the welcome they deserve.
Farke and his players will be ‘on the mic’ and interacting with fans throughout the parade.
People who cannot make it to the event will be able to follow proceedings via a live stream on the club’s LUTV channel.
Councillor James Lewis, leader of Leeds City Council, said: “I’m delighted that we’ve been able to work with Leeds United to give players and fans the chance to celebrate promotion together.
“As a season ticket holder at Elland Road, I know how much this football club means to its supporters and indeed Leeds as a whole.
“The name of Leeds United is already known all around the world, but being in the Premier League raises the profile of the club still further and will also bring wider economic benefits to the city.
“I’m looking forward to seeing fans out enjoying themselves, it should be a wonderful spectacle. By lining the entirety of the route, they’ll be able to secure a great view of the parade and help create a party atmosphere right across the city centre.”
Morrie Eisenberg, chief operating officer at Leeds United, said: “We are thrilled to be able to celebrate our promotion to the Premier League with a parade across Leeds city centre.
“Sadly, due to restrictions when we were last promoted to the top flight in 2020, it wasn’t possible for a bus parade to take place, so we’re now delighted to be able to celebrate this promotion properly with our supporters.
"On behalf of the club I would like to thank everybody who has helped pull the parade together behind the scenes and at local authority level, I’m sure next Monday will be a great occasion for the whole city.”
A programme of road closures and other traffic restrictions is due to be in place across much of the city centre from 8am to 5pm on Monday. Emergency service access will be maintained throughout this time.
Work to stabilise buildings on Lower Kirkgate was set to begin this week, but has now been delayed.
Back in 2024, Lower Kirkgate in Leeds city centre was closed following the partial collapse of a building, leaving one of the city's oldest streets inaccessible.
Since then, the street has remained closed while plans were developed to address the structural issues affecting the buildings.
Last week, almost two years after the initial incident, the council confirmed that a contractor had been appointed to carry out the work and was due to start this week.

However, this work has now been delayed due to the contract awards awaiting finalisation.
The buildings are privately owned, but Leeds City Council says it will step in to carry out the stabilisation work to prevent further deterioration and protect the historic properties.
A spokesperson for Leeds City Council said: “We are pleased that, following months of careful planning and preparation, we are now in a position to begin stabilising these privately owned buildings.
“A contract is being awarded for the work and is expected to take around 20 weeks to complete.
"Work was provisionally due to start on Monday this week but some legal documentation relating to the contract award still has to be finalised and we anticipate that it will begin before the end of the month.
“It should be stressed that the situation on Lower Kirkgate is not of the council's making, with the owners of the buildings allowing their condition to deteriorate over many years and then failing to take the necessary steps to address the resultant structural issues.
“By stepping in and carrying out this work itself, the council will be able to arrest the deterioration of important heritage assets on one of Leeds’s oldest streets. As always, we thank the local community for their continued patience and support.”
We can't wait to see this area of town back up and thriving again.
