Leicester City docked six points for financial breaches

On Feb 5, 2026, Leicester City FC were docked six points after an independent disciplinary commission found breaches of the EFL's profit and sustainability rules, and the EFL Board applied the sanction to the Championship table immediately.
The commission found Leicester City FC breached the P&S threshold by £20.8m over the three-year assessment period ending 2023/24 and failed to provide annual accounts when requested.
A November hearing led to Thursday's verdict, plunging Leicester City FC into a Championship relegation battle just outside the relegation zone on goal difference.
Fixtures include a King Power visit on Tuesday, February 10, and interim boss Andy King will lead the team on Saturday, February 7.
Kieran Maguire said the delays reflect legal complexity, warning Leicester City FC could face separate charges and two points deductions from the Premier League and EFL this season.
