Leicester City

NICKNAMES: The Foxes

History

Before 2015, Leicester City’s history was that of a top second-tier football club, if that makes sense. Since their founding in 1884, they have spent all but one year in the top two flights of English football, and in fact they are tied for having won the second tier the most times ever—seven.

Rivalries

Any game between Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, and Derby County would be considered an East Midlands derby. There’s also a rivalry with Coventry City, at least according to the folks at Coventry

Women's Team

LCFC Women play in the Women’s Super League, tier 1 of the pyramid. Games are at the King Power Stadium, same as the men, or at the Pirelli Stadium, home of Burton

Songs

It’s not a song, but you’ll want to be in your seats when the team comes out. That’s because they are welcomed by a man blowing a fox-hunting horn. It’s awesome. Check the videos tab below for a recording of

Going to a Game at Leicester City

GETTING THERE: It’s about a 30-minute walk from the main train station, with signs pointing the way. Buses 84, 86, and 88 from the center will also get you to Freemen’s Common, a few minutes from the stadium. With all of this just an hour north of St. Pancras in London, you could have breakfast and dinner in London while catching a Foxes game in…

Leicester City Tickets

Leicester can be a tough ticket, especially when it’s a big game. But with a membership you should be able to get into most games; the international rate was £25 for adults last season. Ticket prices for adults run from £26 to £50, and hospitality options are quite reasonable.

UPDATE: Currently we are not able to offer Leicester packages, as the club seems to be adjusting their policies regarding working with resellers. Contact us today to see what the latest info is.
