Championship turmoil as Leicester and Premier League both appeal six-point deduction
Leicester City seeks to remove or reduce a six-point deduction while the Premier League appeals for a harsher penalty citing aggravated circumstances, with 14 matches left this season.
- On February 19, 2026, Leicester City and the Premier League lodged appeals to the judicial chair after an independent commission imposed a six-point deduction on the club.
- An independent commission found Leicester breached the PSR in the 2023-24 season, and files show the Premier League favoured a 12-point deduction, potentially exceeding 20 points.
- With 14 matches left, the deduction puts Leicester in the relegation zone, and Gary Rowett told Leicester players to focus on Saturday's Stoke fixture, ignoring off-field distractions.
- The matter will proceed to an appeal board, and the Premier League lodged a targeted appeal over late accounts while seeking urgent resolution for clubs and fans.
- The unresolved decision means the sanction could still be increased or reduced, as neither Leicester City nor the Premier League has accepted the outcome.
