Elland Road will host top-division football for the first time in the guts of two decades and the excitement is palpable
Leeds United are back in the Premier League after a 16-year hiatus and they are set for a baptism of fire against reigning champions Liverpool in their opening game on September 12.
Marcelo Bielsa's side also face Fulham, Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in their opening four fixtures.
The Whites secured promotion to the Premier League by winning the Championship in 2019-20, doing so in classic Bielsa-ball style. However, life in the Premier League will be much more difficult.
Most Leeds fans will be particularly looking forward to their meetings with Manchester United and the first game between the sides will be played at Old Trafford on December 19.
They will welcome the Red Devils to Elland Road in the corresponding match on April 24.
Leeds will have a tough period to navigate at the end of November into December as they play Arsenal on November 21, Everton on November 28 and Chelsea on December 5.
The December festive run-in will see them play West Ham, Newcastle, Burnley and West Brom - as well as Manchester United - with their first match of the new year coming against Jose Mourinho's Tottenham.
When May comes round and the season approaches a conclusion, Leeds will have to navigate games against, Brighton, Spurs, Burnley and Southampton, before bringing the curtain down against West Brom.
