"Leicester City's survival hopes have been dealt a massive blow after the Premier League confirmed an immediate six-point deduction for the club. The sanction, handed down by an independent Commission, relates to a breach of Profit and Sustainability Rules (P&S Rules) during the 2023/24 season. The ruling follows a complex jurisdictional battle. After Leicester's promotion to the top flight in 2024, the EFL's investigation was transferred to the Premier League."
"Despite legal challenges from the Foxes, including a claim that the rules breached competition law, the Commission determined that the club exceeded the permitted loss threshold by 20.8 million over a three-year assessment period. In an official statement, the Premier League revealed that the Commission rejected Leicester's plea of exceptional cooperation, citing the club's failure to provide annual accounts by the required deadline as a further rule breach."

The Commission found the club exceeded the permitted loss threshold by 20.8 million over a three-year assessment period and rejected a plea of exceptional cooperation, noting failure to file annual accounts on time as an additional breach. The EFL Board ratified the recommendation and the deduction was applied to the 2025/26 Championship table, placing Leicester 20th and three points above the relegation zone.
