Leicester's Premier League history came in 5 separate spells
Leicester's time in the Premier League did not run straight through from start to finish. Instead, the club returned to the division more than once, and every stay ended with relegation.
| Spell | Seasons | How it ended |
|---|---|---|
| First spell | 1994/95 | Relegated (21st, 29 points) |
| Second spell | 1996/97–2001/02 | Relegated (20th, 28 points) |
| Third spell | 2003/04 | Relegated (18th, 33 points) |
| Fourth spell | 2014/15–2022/23 | Relegated (18th, 34 points) |
| Fifth spell | 2024/25 | Relegated (18th, 25 points) |
Each of those spells began with promotion.
They are not in the 2026/27 Premier League
Leicester City's latest Premier League season was 2024/25. After that campaign, they spent 1 season outside the Premier League in 2025/26, and they are also absent from the 2026/27 club list.
The latest official final table entry for Leicester in the Premier League is therefore 2024/25. In that season they finished 18th out of 20 clubs with 25 points and went down.
The all-time Premier League record shows a long but uneven presence
The overall record places Leicester firmly inside the league's historical picture. It also shows a club with real staying power across different eras, while still carrying clear ups and downs.
