Elland Road fan guide: How to get to Leeds United’s stadium by train, bus and car
Elland Road isn’t just a football stadium; it’s a cathedral of English football.
Few grounds can match the levels of passion, electricity and tribalism that arise inside Leeds United’s stadium on a matchday.
Many pundits and neutral fans said that the Premier League wasn’t complete while Leeds were missing because the ‘best league in the world’ deserves Elland Road’s famous matchday atmosphere.
Hearing the ‘Marching On Together’ anthem in full swing is a unique moment that all football fans will appreciate.
Now Leeds are back in the Premier League, its home stadium will be play host to some of the world’s best players once again. Just as it should be.
Below, MOT Leeds News presents a full guide on how to get to Elland Road by car, bus or train.
How to get to Elland Road by car
Elland Road is located in Beeston, around three miles south-west of the city centre. You can type the postcode LS11 0ES into your satnav to get driving directions.
If you’re driving from outside of Leeds, you’ll likely need to take the M621 and exit the slip road at junction 2. After exiting the roundabout, you’ll be able to follow signs for matchday parking.
There are two car parks at Elland Road, each costing £6 per hour.
- Car Park A can be accessed via Lowfields Road alongside the East Stand of the stadium
- Car Park B is accessible via Wesley Street, next to the Old Peacock pub.
You should plan to arrive to the stadium with plenty of time as heavy traffic delays are common on matchdays.

How to get to Elland Road by public transport
Leeds train station, situated in the city centre, is the nearest to Elland Road, but it’s a 35-minute walk to the stadium from there.
Alternatively, there’s a special shuttle service that will take you to the ground on matchdays from Sovereign Street, Thornbury Barracks and Pudsey Bus Station. These tend to start around 90 minutes before kick-off.
You can also access Elland Road by bus. The services 51, 52, 55 and 55c all run along Elland Road.
If more convenient, services 65 and 75 along Beeston Road can also get you close to the stadium, as can services 9 and 9A along Ring Road Beeston.
Look out for future details of the proposed Elland Road expansion to see if they affect your travel plans.
