New upgrade quietly taking shape at Elland Road as fresh West Stand redevelopment footage emerges

Leeds United's vast Elland Road redevelopment remains an ongoing project, with another busy week of work captured from above.

While the West Stand expansion remains the main focus, supporters have also spotted a subtle new addition taking shape inside the stadium.

New dugouts now visible at Elland Road ahead of new season

The latest aerial footage from Elland Road shows steady progress on Leeds' West Stand redevelopment, with piling works continuing at full speed across the construction site.

Heavy machinery remains in operation as contractors work through one of the most important early phases of the project, with around 300 piles expected to be installed before major structural work can begin.

Elsewhere on site, ground preparation continues with a stone crusher processing materials before further levelling work around the footprint of the new stand.

Away from the redevelopment itself, supporters have also been given a glimpse of new dugouts taking shape ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The updated technical areas are now clearly visible, representing another small but noticeable improvement inside the stadium.

The footage also shows Leeds' grounds staff maintaining the playing surface during the summer, with the pitch misting system in operation as preparations continue for the new campaign.

FGG says: New dugouts a nice bonus ahead of 2026/27 season

Piling may not be the most eye-catching stage of any stadium redevelopment, but it is one of the most important.

Once that work is complete, supporters should begin to see the stadium change much more rapidly as the steel framework starts to rise.

The new dugouts are a nice bonus ahead of the new season, while the main redevelopment continues to move steadily in the right direction.
