Leicester appeal against six-point deductionPublished19 February 2026, 11:02 GMTUpdated Just nowLeicester City have appealed against a decision by the English Football League to deduct them six points for breaching financial rules.The sanction was imposed on the Foxes earlier this month and saw them drop to 20th in the Championship, only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.Two successive defeats since have led to them dropping into the bottom three, two points from safety.Leicester were charged by the Premier League in May for breaching profit and sustainability rules (PSR) in the three years up to 2023-24.
The Premier League mentioned that they will be “seeking to have the appeal resolved urgently” and before the end of this season.
