Football trips to Leicester 2025/26

Leicester City are back in the Championship for the 2025/26 season, which means King Power Stadium will host second-tier football — but that doesn't make a trip any less worthwhile. The atmosphere at Championship level is often raw and passionate, and Leicester remain one of the bigger clubs in the division with a fanbase that fills the ground. On this site you can compare football trips to Leicester from a range of companies, including both travel packages with hotel and flight combined, and standalone match tickets. Around 15 different sellers are listed, covering everything from budget options to more complete travel packages. The content of each deal varies — some include transfers or guided experiences, others are straightforward ticket-only offers. It's worth looking at what's actually included rather than just the headline price. Purchasing is done directly on the seller's website, so payment methods and terms differ between companies. More details about each offer can be found on the individual seller's page.

Compare football trips to Leicester

When comparing football trips to Leicester, the price is one factor — but it's not the only one. A football tour that includes hotel, flights and transfers might cost more upfront but saves you the hassle of piecing everything together yourself. On the other hand, if you're already in the UK or prefer to sort accommodation separately, a ticket-only deal might suit you better. The companies listed here range from large specialist travel agencies to smaller ticket sellers, and they don't all offer the same fixtures. Some focus on Premier League and European games, so availability for Championship matches may vary across providers. It's worth checking a few different listings to see which fixtures are covered and what each package actually includes. The comparison here is about finding the right fit for your trip — not just the lowest number.

Leicester tickets

Getting Leicester tickets through the club directly is possible, but it comes with conditions. You typically need to be a member to access ticket sales, and even then, popular fixtures can be difficult. Buying tickets for Leicester through one of the partners listed on this site is a more straightforward route — you get a confirmed place without needing a membership or having to navigate the club's ticketing system. Match tickets are available for most home fixtures through the sellers listed here, though availability and pricing vary. As a visiting fan, you'll be allocated a section in the away end, which is standard practice at King Power Stadium. Some sellers offer just the match ticket, while others bundle it into a broader travel package. It's written clearly on each listing what's included, so check the details before heading to the seller's site to complete your purchase.

Supporter guide to Leicester and King Power Stadium

Visiting fans are housed in the away section at the south end of King Power Stadium. It's a covered stand with decent sightlines, though the away allocation can be on the smaller side for big fixtures. Arrive at least an hour before kick-off — the area around the stadium gets busy, and if it's your first time, it's worth getting your bearings. The stadium is close to the city centre, so there are plenty of pubs within walking distance. The Counting House on Granby Street is a well-known pre-match spot, and The Ale Wagon on Charles Street is popular with locals. For a mixed crowd, The Font near the university area works well. Away fans tend to gather in the city centre rather than directly outside the ground. Food inside the stadium is standard matchday fare — pies, burgers, hot drinks. Bring cash as backup, though most outlets accept card.

Getting to King Power Stadium

King Power Stadium sits roughly a mile southwest of Leicester city centre, which makes it walkable in around 20–25 minutes from the train station. From Leicester Railway Station, head down Waterloo Way and follow the signs — it's a straightforward route and well signposted on matchdays. There's no tram or underground system in Leicester, so your options are walking, bus or taxi. Several local bus routes serve the area around the stadium — the X1 and X2 are among those stopping nearby, though it's worth checking current Arriva East Midlands timetables closer to your travel date. Taxis from the city centre are quick and not particularly expensive for a short distance. Driving is possible but parking near the stadium is limited, and road closures are common on matchdays. There are park-and-ride options on the outskirts of the city, which can be a practical alternative if you're coming by car from further away.

seats

King Power Stadium

King Power Stadium opened in 2002, replacing Filbert Street as Leicester City's home ground. It was originally known as the Walkers Stadium before being renamed after the King Power Group, the club's Thai ownership, took over in 2011. The stadium has a capacity of approximately 32,000 and is a modern, compact four-stand ground with covered seating all around. The atmosphere can be intense when the ground is full, partly because the stands are relatively close to the pitch. The East Stand is the largest and houses most of the home support. The stadium also has a notable statue of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the club's former chairman who passed away in 2018 — it stands outside the ground and has become a place of tribute for supporters. The King Power branding is visible throughout, and the stadium is well maintained with good facilities for both home and away supporters.

Package trip or tickets

A package trip to Leicester makes most sense if you're travelling from further away and want everything sorted in one booking. These travel packages typically combine a match ticket with hotel accommodation, and some include flights or transfers depending on the provider. It reduces the number of separate bookings you need to manage and means you have a clear picture of the total cost upfront. If you're already based in the UK or have accommodation sorted, a standalone ticket is the simpler option. The sellers listed here cover both approaches, so it comes down to what kind of trip you're planning. One thing worth noting — a travel package doesn't always mean the most expensive option. Bundled deals can sometimes work out comparable to booking each element separately, particularly if you're travelling as a group. Check what's included on each seller's page before deciding.

Leicester's rivalries

Leicester City's main rivalry is with Nottingham Forest, a fixture with East Midlands roots and a long history between two clubs that have both experienced significant highs and lows. The games between them tend to carry extra weight regardless of the league or the table position. Derby County is another East Midlands rival, and matches against them draw strong interest from both sets of supporters. Coventry City is also considered a rival, with geography and history contributing to a competitive edge when the two sides meet. In the Championship, these regional derbies take on added significance — they're often the fixtures supporters circle first when the fixture list comes out. The intensity in these games tends to be higher than the league position might suggest, and they're worth factoring in when choosing which match to attend.

History and great players

Leicester City were founded in 1884 and spent much of their history as a solid but unremarkable English club — until everything changed in 2015/16. That season, under Claudio Ranieri, they won the Premier League title as roughly 5,000-to-1 outsiders, one of the most unlikely championship wins in football history. The squad that achieved it included players who had become genuine stars: Riyad Mahrez, N'Golo Kanté and Jamie Vardy were central figures. Vardy, born in Sheffield, came through non-league football before joining Leicester and became one of the most effective strikers in the Premier League, breaking the record for scoring in consecutive league games. He remains at the club. Gary Lineker, born in Leicester, is one of the club's most famous former players — a prolific striker who came through the academy before moving on to bigger clubs and eventually becoming a prominent television presenter. More recently, James Maddison developed significantly during his time at the club before moving to Tottenham.

Other activities in Leicester

A football trip to Leicester gives you a good excuse to explore a city that has more going on than many visitors expect. The King Richard III Visitor Centre in the city centre tells the story of the medieval king whose remains were discovered under a car park in 2012 — it's genuinely interesting and well put together. Leicester Cathedral, right next to it, is where Richard III is now buried. The Golden Mile along Belgrave Road is the place to go for South Asian food, and it's considered one of the best areas in the country for it — curry houses and sweet shops line the street. The Lanes area in the city centre has independent shops, bars and cafés. Leicester Market is one of the largest outdoor markets in Europe and worth a walk through. If you have an extra day, Bradgate Park on the edge of the city offers open countryside and the ruins of Lady Jane Grey's birthplace.
