Elland Road has been Leeds United’s home since 1919 and remains one of the biggest football grounds outside London, Manchester and Liverpool. The stadium sits south-west of Leeds city centre and has a matchday catchment that stretches across West Yorkshire.
What happens here
- Leeds United Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup home matches.
- Leeds United Women and academy fixtures where scheduled.
- Club events, conferences, banqueting and private hire.
- Occasional concerts and major non-football events.
Who runs hospitality and catering
Leeds United and its stadium partners recruit across concourses, bars, hospitality suites, retail, cleaning and stewarding. Elland Road’s size means a single league fixture can require a large casual workforce, especially for high-profile evening games and cup ties.
What’s it like to work here
Elland Road is loud, old-school and busy. It is not a new-build stadium with wide concourses everywhere, so event-day teams need to keep queues moving, manage tight circulation areas and look after a passionate home crowd.
For staff in Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and Huddersfield, it is the main route into regular Premier League matchday work in Yorkshire.
Other operators
Specialist security, cleaning, traffic and facilities contractors may recruit around the busiest fixtures and non-football events.
