It’s distinctly unusual for them to experience a match in May without any pressure riding on it.Daniel Farke’s side were officially safe from relegation with three games to spare. Leeds (along with Sunderland) bucked the trend of the last two seasons, in which all six of the newly promoted teams were relegated immediately back to the second tier.While Leeds lost their final game against West Ham, make no mistake — it’s been a triumph.Leeds United’s grade for 2025-26 is… AAs with player ratings, you have to give yourself somewhere to go with grades because no club can be perfect, but Leeds could not have done much more in 2025-26.
