EFL announce Championship rule change that will impact Leeds United ahead of busy summer window

The EFL has confirmed that teams in the Championship will be permitted to name nine substitutes in their match-day squads when the season begins in just over six weeks' time.

Leeds United are back in the second tier for the first time in four seasons and will start their campaign with an Elland Road clash against Cardiff City, in which they will be able to name 20 players in their match-day squad after an agreement was reached following discussion between EFL clubs.

This is up from the five subs allowed in the Championship last season and brings it in line with what Leeds were allowed to do in the Premier League in the 2022-23 campaign.
