Leeds United's Elland Road redevelopment is continuing to take shape with the club preparing to welcome supporters back for the first home game of the new season.
Fresh aerial footage shows significant groundwork and piling work underway around the iconic stadium.
Elland Road getting ready to host Brentford this weekend
Footage filmed over the weekend shows the latest progress around Elland Road as work continues on the stadium expansion project.
The construction footprint has grown noticeably, with piling foundations now being installed alongside extensive site clearance and preparation work.
Tarmac has also been laid in areas around the development to help manage access for supporters when Elland Road returns to matchday use.
The footage shows workers using guides to ensure reinforcement bars are correctly positioned during the piling process, while concrete is being used to protect the structures from rust.
Despite the ongoing construction, significant efforts have been made to ensure the stadium is ready for supporters.
Extensive fencing has been installed to separate the building site from areas used by fans, while a temporary ticket office is also in place.
Elsewhere, the former hospitality building has been converted into a car park, with the pitch itself looking in excellent condition ahead of the new campaign.
Leeds began the season with a 1-0 victory away at Nottingham Forest's City Ground and will travel to the Tricky Trees once again for the Carabao Cup in midweek.
They will then finally return to Elland Road against Brentford this weekend in what will be their first competitive home fixture of the 2026/27 season.
FGG says: A busy summer has not stopped the progress
The latest footage shows just how much work is taking place around Elland Road, even with the stadium needing to remain operational for the new season.
Keeping supporters safely separated from the construction zone will be crucial, but the expanding footprint and piling work provide another clear sign that Leeds' long-term redevelopment plans are moving forward.
