Leeds United will start the 2023/24 Championship season with a home game against Cardiff City. The clash is scheduled to take place on Sunday August 6 and it has been selected to be shown live on TV. As such, it will kick-off at 2.30pm with fans hoping to see Leeds hit the ground running on their return to the Championship.
Leeds, who are currently without a head coach, have a little over six weeks to prepare for the season opener, but the club have made no secret of their desire to push for promotion to the Premier League at the first time of asking. They’ll be keen to put themselves in a position to get points on the board early doors and their start looks relatively kind, with a trip to Birmingham City following the opening game.
West Bromwich Albion and newly promoted duo Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday make up the remainder of the first five games. Relegation to the Championship means more midweek fixtures for Leeds and they’ll face Hull City, QPR, Stoke, Swansea City and Sunderland in night matches before Christmas alone.
The festive period has a similar feel to the start of the campaign with Leeds taking on Ipswich, Preston, West Brom and Birmingham between December 23 and January 1. Leeds will round the regular season off at the start of May with a home clash against fellow relegated club Southampton.
