What channel is Leeds United vs Leicester City? Kick-off time, TV and live stream details

It doesn't get much bigger than this for both Leeds and Leicester.

The relegation battle is set to take another dramatic twist on Tuesday when the Whites welcome the Foxes to Elland Road in what is poised to be a blockbuster affair at the bottom of the Premier League.

Leeds currently sit 16th, a point above the bottom three, while Leicester moved up to 17th and out of the relegation zone after beating Wolves on Saturday. The hosts have lost their last three Premier League matches and are desperately in need of a victory against a Foxes side also in the mix.

One point and one place separate these two in the table, and a win for either side would be crucial in their pursuit to stay in the top-flight. Defeat, meanwhile, would put either team firmly back in danger, with Nottingham Forest, Everton and Southampton all in action later in the week.

What time is kick-off?

Leeds' clash against Leicester is set to get underway at 8pm.

The last meeting between the two teams came back in October when Leicester ran out comfortable 2-0 winners over then-Jesse Marsch's side. An own-goal and Harvey Barnes' strike earned all three points for the Foxes on the night as they continued their charge up the table.

Meanwhile, the last time these two faced each-other at Elland Road was an entertaining 1-1 draw in November 2021. Raphinha gave the Whites a 26th minute lead, before Barnes equalised virtually from kick-off to seal a point on the road for the travelling Foxes.

Is Leeds vs Leicester on TV?

Yes. Leicester's trip to West Yorkshire will be shown live on BT Sport. Coverage starts at 7pm on BT's 1HD and Ultimate channels, with kick-off an hour later.

Sky Sports will be broadcasting highlights of the game to their YouTube channel and website shortly after the final whistle, while BT Sport will show theirs after the match and BBC One will also air highlights on Wednesday.

Team news

Leeds will still be without long-term absentees Tyler Adams and Stuart Dallas, while Javi Gravia confirmed that some key players may miss the clash against Leicester. He said: "For the next game we have some players, who in this moment, I'm not sure if they'll be able to play."

Adam Forshaw could come back into the XI after a long time out through injury and Max Wober is set to keep his place at centre-back after returning against Fulham on Saturday. There may be some change up front with Rodrigo struggling to impress as the lone striker, with Patrick Bamford now back fit.

As for Leicester, Dean Smith will welcome James Maddison and Harvey Barnes back after missing the win over Wolves. Jamie Vardy could be in contention to play after going off at half-time with a twisted ankle.
