Leicester City have confirmed they have sold 22,253 season tickets for the 2026/27 campaign.

4,500 new ST holders, with "significant proportion" being under-18s. #LCFC https://t.co/K8WzjkrTBX

[Leicester City @LCFC]

Following confirmation of Leicester City’s relegation to League One, Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has issued the following statement:

To our fans,

Relegation to League One is now confirmed. As Chairman, that responsibility sits with me. There are no excuses.

We have experienced the highest highs and now the lowest lows, and the pain is shared by all of us. I am truly sorry for the disappointment we have caused. I understand the strength of feeling among our supporters, and we do not take your support for granted, especially at moments like this.

Our focus now is on what comes next. We will take the necessary decisions to move the Club forward, working together to rebuild, improve, and restore the standards expected of Leicester City. Our objective is clear – to respond strongly and compete to move this Club forward again.

We will face this head-on. We will keep going.

Together.

And some fans are clapping 🤯

#LCFC fans following relegation

[Josh Smith @SPORTSA_YT]

@Joaco_lestah Agreed mate but inside the stadium the atmosphere and the mood completely changed, you could tel it impacted the players

[Josh Smith @SPORTSA_YT]

Harry Winks for Jordan James is one of the worst substitutions I’ve ever seen.

Leicester were of course going down anyway, but that sub takes all momentum out of the game.

Bringing on a player who is disliked by every fan at the club, ridiculous decision #Lcfc

[Oche @dartsocheagain]

It’s crazy what a Leicester fan has experienced since 2008

- Relegation to League 1
- Winning League 1
- Winning the championship
- Pulling off their version of the great escape
- Winning the Premier League the year after
- Champions League QF
- Their owner dying in a helicopter crash
- Top 5 finishes
- Winning the FA Cup
- Conference League semi
- Relegation
- Winning the Championship
- Relegation
- Points Deduction
- Relegation to League 1

Mental #LCFC

[Josh Smith @SPORTSA_YT]

League one all but confirmed.
