Leeds United vs Chelsea: EFL Cup Third Round Clash

Leeds United will return to one of English football’s grandest stages in the EFL Cup Third Round, with a trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Wednesday 9th September, kicking off at 8pm.

The tie in the capital has been selected for live broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, underlining its appeal: a storied Premier League giant against a Leeds side that has already shown it can rattle the elite.

These clubs know each other well. Last season they met three times, and it was at Elland Road where Leeds lit the fuse on an impressive run of form. That night finished 3-1 to the Whites, a statement victory built on goals from Jaka Bijol, Ao Tanaka and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and a performance that carried the snap and belief of a team refusing to be overawed.

Now comes a fresh chapter, this time under the lights in West London, with knockout jeopardy attached.

Ticket information for the away end at Stamford Bridge – including prices and allocation details – will be confirmed in due course, as Leeds prepare to take their noise and momentum back onto the big stage.
