Leeds has no resident NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL or MLS franchise, but Barber Motorsports Park and the area's college and minor-league programs — led by the Barber Motorsports Park — carry the live-sports calendar, with the nearest big-league markets an easy road trip away. This page filters every live listing to October 2 – October 4 only — sorted by date so the earliest weekend start sits on top — so a Friday-night game, a Saturday matinee and a Sunday afternoon all surface in one feed.

Things to do in Leeds this weekend
A typical Leeds sporting weekend has more on it than a quick scan of the fixtures suggests, and the answer depends on the season. From April through September the city tilts toward the Headingley site: Yorkshire County Cricket Club run County Championship and one-day cricket through the warm months, with the headline international Test and limited-overs fixtures pulling near-capacity crowds, and Leeds Rhinos play their Super League rugby league home dates on the adjoining ground, mostly Friday nights and weekends.
Pick a Friday-to-Sunday in summer and one of those is usually on. Through the football season the rhythm shifts south to Beeston: Saturdays and Sundays open with the build-up around Elland Road, roll through a Leeds United fixture, and finish with the post-match pub circuit.
Saturday mornings still start with Kirkgate Market in the city centre, and a Headingley cricket day can run from late morning across the afternoon. Add a major Elland Road match-day and the entire area fills — pubs along Elland Road, the Old Peacock directly opposite the ground, and the crowd back toward the city centre and the train station afterwards.
Out of season the First Direct Arena and the John Charles Centre carry boxing and combat-sports cards on weekend nights.
What's on by month
October
October is football's month in Leeds. Leeds United sit in a heavy run of autumn fixtures at Elland Road, with weekend and occasional midweek kick-offs as the league season builds.
The Super League rugby league season finishes its play-offs in early October, so Leeds Rhinos may still feature in the run to the Grand Final. The cricket season is over for the year, and the indoor calendar at the First Direct Arena and the John Charles Centre for Sport picks up boxing and combat-sports cards.
November
November is mid-season football and indoor sport. Leeds United fill weekends and midweek dates at Elland Road through the autumn stretch of the league campaign, with the match-day pubs busy despite the weather.
With the cricket and rugby league seasons closed, the First Direct Arena and the John Charles Centre for Sport carry the indoor calendar of boxing, combat sports and athletics. The Headingley grounds sit quiet ahead of next spring.
