Ten years after winning the Premier League title, Leicester City are relegated to the third tier of English football.
2025/2026 EFL Championship
Match Report
Gary Rowett's side sat 23rd in the table, eight points from safety, prior to kick-off, following a run of just two wins in their last 19 league games.
They needed to beat the Tigers in order to fight another day, and they fought back from a goal down to lead. But Oli McBurnie's strike sealed their fate.
Relegation to the third tier comes just shy of a decade after Leicester beat odds of 5,000/1 to win the Premier League title under Claudio Ranieri.
In 2026/27, the Foxes will play in the third tier of English football for only the second time in their 142-year history.
