Leeds United fixtures: Sky Bet Championship 2019/20

Leeds' promotion bid starts live on Sky Sports with a trip to Bristol City on the opening weekend of the 2019/20 Sky Bet Championship season.

Marcelo Bielsa's side will look to atone for last season's play-off heartache by ending the club's 15-year wait for a return to the top flight, and their campaign gets underway at Ashton Gate on August 4.

After the first international break of the season, Leeds travel to Yorkshire rivals Barnsley on September 14 before, a week later, welcoming Derby back to Elland Road, four months on from their play-off semi-final defeat.

Leeds entertain Preston on Boxing Day and conclude their festive schedule with a trip to fellow-promotion hopefuls West Brom on New Year's Day.

The race for promotion hots up in April and May, with a potentially crucial, penultimate fixture away at Derby before Leeds host Charlton at home on the final day of the season on May 2.
