Leicester City Football Club is a professional association football club based in Leicester, East Midlands, England. They compete in the EFL Championship, the second level of the English football league system, but will compete in the Premier League in the 2024-25 season.

The club was founded in 1884 as Leicester Fosse F.C, and became known as Leicester City in 1919.[1] They moved to Filbert Street in 1891, were elected to the Football League in 1894 and moved to the nearby King Power Stadium in 2002.[2][3]

Leicester City have notably won one Premier League, one FA Cup, three League Cups and two FA Community Shields. The club's 2015–16 Premier League title win attracted global attention, and they became one of seven clubs to have won the Premier League since its inception in 1992.[4][5] Prior to this, Leicester's highest league finish was second place in the top flight in 1928–29.

The club have competed in the FA Cup final five times, winning their first title in 2021. They won the League Cup in 1964, 1997 and 2000 respectively, and were finalists in 1964–65 and 1998–99. Leicester have also played in seven European competitions to date, notably reaching the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in 2016–17 and the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-finals in 2021–22.
