Every confirmed error involving Leeds
- 2026-27 · Leeds v Brentford (2026-08-30) — referee Tony Harrington; the decision went in their favour. Panel: The panel felt that a penalty should have been awarded for a foul by Bogle on Schade, 4:1. There was foot on foot contact instigated by Bogle with enough contact for a penalty kick. However, given the high threshold for VAR intervention, the panel felt the referee's call should remain on- field as it wasn't a clear and obvious error, 3:2.
- 2025-26 · Crystal Palace v Leeds (2026-03-15) — referee Thomas Bramall; the decision went against them. Panel: 2025-26 wrongly-shown second yellow (Gabriel Gudmundsson, Leeds). No votes.
- 2025-26 · Leeds v Sunderland (2026-03-03) — referee Stuart Attwell; the decision went against them. Panel: not looking at the ball, places his arms around the neck of Struijk in a clear non-footballing action and stops the Leeds United attacker from progressing towards goal.
- 2025-26 · Arsenal v Leeds (2025-08-23) — referee Jarred Gillett; the decision went against them. Panel: 2025-26 on-field below-threshold (B#3): penalty_awarded — Arsenal v Leeds. No votes (below clear-and-obvious threshold).
- 2025-26 · Chelsea v Leeds (2026-02-10) — referee Robert Jones; the decision went against them. Panel: 2025-26 missed second yellow (Cole Palmer, Chelsea). No votes.
