Elland Road away guide

Leeds United away end

Away fans are in the John Charles Stand, the west side of the ground, tucked into the south-west corner. The allocation splits across two tiers and your ticket colour tells you which: yellow is the upper tier, blocks B1 to B4, black is the lower, blocks C15 to C17. You get in through the blue gates in the south-west corner off Elland Road, then entrances 1 and 2 for the upper tier or the Howards Entrance for the lower. Leeds are rebuilding the West Stand through 2026/27, so check the club's away guide before you travel in case the route in has changed.

Elland Road bag policy

Elland Road runs strict bag checks. Travel with an A4-size bag or smaller and leave larger bags at the station or hotel before heading to the ground.

Checked 26 May 2026 against Leeds United security information.

Getting to Elland Road: nearest station

Leeds station is about a 25 to 30-minute walk, mostly through Holbeck, so most away fans take the matchday shuttle bus that runs from Sovereign Street near the station. The shuttle drops you a short walk from the away end and is the smartest move both ways, particularly after dark.
