Leeds, owned by San Francisco-based 49ers Enterprises, were relegated from the Premier League last season after finishing second-to-last.
The club placed third at the end of the Championship regular season behind Leicester and Ipswich, who gained automatic promotion.
Leeds will play either West Bromwich Albion or Southampton in the playoff final on May 26. They also drew 0-0 in the first leg and will play the second leg on Friday.
Ilia Gruev, Joël Piroe and Georginio Rutter scored for Leeds before the break and Crysencio Summerville added the fourth in the 68th minute for the team led by Daniel Farke, who led Norwich to promotion in 2019 and 2021.
American golfer Justin Thomas, who is a minority investor in Leeds along with his PGA Tour partner and friend Jordan Spieth, said he would watch the match after completing his first round at the PGA Championship in Valhalla.
