Leeds United squad numbers for the 2025-26 season.

There’s been a lot of change at Leeds United over the summer and there needed to be if they are to have any hope of surviving in the Premier League.

Daniel Farke called for ambition from the 49ers in the transfer window and they have spent big money to add experience and quality to the club.

Farke has increased the height of his squad while sorting troubled positions with his eight recruits so far.

With so many new signings through the door, a lot of new squad numbers have been assigned and some players already at Elland Road have found themselves without one.

Here’s every kit number for the 2025-26 season and those still available for possible new arrivals.
