Leicester won the 2015–16 Premier League, their first top tier title, becoming one of seven clubs to have won the Premier League since its inception in 1992, and the 24th club to have been English league champions.

The club's previous highest ever league finish was second place in the top flight, in 1928–29, then known as the First Division.
