Leeds United Under-21s will begin their Premier League 2 season towards the end of August with a home match against West Bromwich Albion in Yorkshire.
That opening fixture sets the tone for Scott Gardner's side, who will then travel to Merseyside to face Liverpool away from home. The schedule gives Leeds a clear early test, with one home game to start and an immediate trip on the road against another well-known academy side.
Key fixtures across the season
Before Christmas, Leeds United Under-21s will travel to the capital to meet West Ham United. At the first match of the New Year, Tottenham Hotspur will visit Thorp Arch. The regular season will then finish in late March, when Leeds host Sunderland.
The fixture list also shows where Leeds will generally play their home matches, with Thorp Arch again used for some of the season's key dates. That includes the New Year meeting with Tottenham Hotspur, underlining how the club will split its U21 schedule between Yorkshire and select home venues.
Premier League Cup group
There is also a fresh update in the Premier League Cup draw, with Leeds placed in Group I alongside Charlton Athletic, Stockport County and Stoke City. It adds another layer to a busy season for the Under-21s, with both league and cup commitments now mapped out.
For Leeds, the main takeaway is simple: the season opens with a home game, includes notable trips before and after Christmas, and ends with Sunderland visiting in late March.
