Leeds United are pleased to announce the club has extended its partnership with Employment Hero, the AI-powered employment platform, for another season.
As part of the renewal for the 2026/27 campaign, Employment Hero will become the first ever club partner to take over the iconic Legends Club located in the East Stand at Elland Road.
This marks the next chapter in Employment Hero’s commitment to the city of Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region, bringing together the worlds of football and work by giving local small businesses exclusive access to matchday experiences, networking events and behind-the-scenes opportunities throughout the upcoming season.
Guests in the Legends Club for the opening Premier League home fixture will be the first to experience the newly branded hospitality suite, which will serve as Employment Hero’s home for hosting customers and partners over the next year.
Employment Hero’s mission is to make employment easier for everyone, and together with Leeds United they aim to champion small businesses and the people behind them, helping them to navigate complexities and grow with confidence.
Maisie Goss, UK Vice President of Marketing at Employment Hero, said: “Leeds has always been a city built on hard work. Whether it’s the people behind a football club or the people running small businesses, success depends on the individuals whose contribution often goes unseen.
“That is why this partnership with Leeds United means so much to us – we are keen to highlight the people who keep Leeds, Yorkshire and the club running.
“By taking over the Legends Club, we’re creating a home for local businesses throughout the season and celebrating those who keep the region thriving.”
Phil Hardman, Partnerships Director at Leeds United, added: “The club is thrilled to extend its partnership with Employment Hero for the 2026/27 season, and we are all excited to see the brand take over our popular Legends Club.
“If the club can play a part in supporting small local businesses alongside Employment Hero, then that is something that we will be really proud of, and we look forward to offering them new opportunities and welcoming them all to Elland Road across the upcoming campaign.”
