Our penultimate review of the 2025/26 Premier League programmes today turns the attention to the issue from Leeds United. Read our full review below and click here to see all of the current season issues from the Premier League.
Leeds mark their return to the Premier League with an impressive programme that excels in both presentation and the breadth of its club coverage.
The programme is among the most visually attractive in the league, benefiting from a consistent approach to page design, including recurring motifs on the page edgings. Intelligent use of the club’s colours—particularly white and yellow—helps create a bright, clean aesthetic that is maintained across the issue.
In terms of editorial content, the Leeds issue offers several original features. Dream Team sees a former player who turned out for both Leeds and the day’s visitors to Elland Road selecting their best eleven from former teammates. They Also Served profiles players who made fewer than ten appearances for the club, examining the circumstances behind their brief spells and what became of them after leaving Elland Road.
The United Nations of Leeds ties in with the upcoming World Cup, recalling previous meetings with the visitors through the lens of the international players involved. Famous Fans features an interview with a well-known supporter, while club legend Eddie Gray contributes a regular column. There is also an extensive eight-page interview with a current first-team player, accompanied by a page summarising key career milestones and statistics.
The visitors’ section extends to nine pages. An opening feature sets the scene for the match by examining recent developments, transfer activity, and current form, while also analysing the opposition’s most recent line-up and tactical shape. This is followed by profiles of the first eleven, notes on the other squad members, and a look at the club’s manager. A page of head-to-head information includes the last meeting between the teams, as well as overall statistics, and notable match-ups. Ask Away adds further insight through the perspective of a supporter from the visiting club.
Club information is particularly comprehensive. Alongside the familiar manager and captain columns, there are several pages of news from around the club. Recent matches are documented through photography, full line-ups, and match statistics. The Leeds United Supporters Club has a dedicated page showcasing its various branches, while updates are also provided on the work of the Leeds United Foundation. Each issue offers impressively detailed coverage of the club’s women’s team, under-21s, and under-18s, with updates, match reports, and statistics, while a further four-pages are given over to first-team statistics.
This is a strong programme from Leeds, with few notable weaknesses. While additional historical features would help elevate the editorial content further, the combination of attractive design, extensive club coverage, and solid original features places it among the league’s better offerings.
