The celebrations went long into the night - and are still going on now.
Leeds United's return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence was confirmed on Friday evening when West Bromwich Albion lost 2-1 at Huddersfield Town and meant the Baggies could no longer catch Marcelo Bielsa's men.
After a 1-0 win over Barnsley the previous evening had put Leeds on their brink of promotion, the squad gathered at Elland Road to watch Slaven Bilic's men slump to defeat and seal their top finish.
Thousands of fans gathered outside the stadium to join in the carnival atmosphere as a generation outside the top flight came to an end.
While the players whipped up their adoring fans with their celebrations, an emotional moment followed when Marcelo Bielsa joined his squad in the East Stand to congratulate them on their monumental achievement.
In footage that would make even the most stone-faced fan emotional, the club have tweeted out a video of Bielsa embracing members of his squad as the emotion that has built up over the past two seasons spilled out.
If you can watch this without your emotions getting the better of you, then you're made of sturdier stuff than we are...
