Just shy of a decade after that remarkable title triumph, the Foxes are preparing for life in League One next season, having suffered back-to-back relegations.
Their fate was sealed on Tuesday evening: a 2-2 draw with Hull City at the King Power Stadium confirming their place in the third tier for only the second time in the club's 142-year history.
It marks a sharp decline for a club that, during those 10 years, boasted two top-five Premier League finishes, an appearance in the quarter-finals of the Champions League – Europe's elite club competition – and FA Cup glory for the first time ever in 2021.
However, amid the highs, Leicester have also had to contend with some devastating lows during that time – most notably the death of owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash in October 2018.
A 5,000/1 fairytale
Leicester began the 2015/16 season as 5,000/1 outsiders to win the Premier League. The season before, they had consolidated their top-flight status by just six points, having secured promotion from the Championship the prior year.
Under the stewardship of Italian manager Claudio Ranieri, the Foxes defied the odds right from the start of the 2015/16 campaign, suffering just one defeat in their opening 17 league fixtures.
They were top of the table by mid-January, a position they never relinquished as they stormed to the title, finishing 10 points clear of runners-up Arsenal, having lost just three league games all season.
Striker Jamie Vardy, one of the poster boys of that success, finished on 24 league goals and became the first player to score in 11 straight Premier League matches – a record that still stands.
Champions League football came the following year, where Leicester progressed further than any other English team that season before exiting at the hands of Spanish side Atletico Madrid in the last eight.
The club's 'darkest day'
On 27 October 2018, little over two years after their league triumph, Leicester netted a late equaliser in a home game against West Ham to send fans inside the King Power Stadium into raptures.
But joy would turn to horror just hours later when five people – including the club's billionaire owner Mr Srivaddhanaprabha – were killed in a helicopter crash outside the ground, in what has been described as the "darkest day" in the history of the club.
All five victims were travelling on board the helicopter, which an inquest later found had suffered a mechanical failure that caused it to spin out of control.
In the days following the crash, wreaths were laid at the stadium, and tributes flooded in for a man many credit with turning around the fortunes of the club.
After buying Leicester for £39m in 2010, Mr Srivaddhanaprabha cleared the club's debts before overseeing one of the greatest sporting stories of all time six years later.
Following Vichai's death, his son Aiyawatt – known as "Top" – took charge of the club. Since then, however, the club has failed to sustain the same level of success.
A rapid decline
After lifting the FA Cup for the first time in the club's history in 2021 – courtesy of a Youri Tielemans goal in a 1-0 win over Chelsea at Wembley – Leicester, under boss Brendan Rodgers, finished eighth in the league the following year and also reached the semi-finals of the inaugural Europa Conference League.
But the season after, the Foxes struggled. Rodgers was dismissed in April 2023, and the team ultimately failed to avoid relegation to the second tier.
They returned to the Premier League after just one season away but came straight back down again in 2025. Since Rodgers's exit, the club has failed to establish stability in the dugout, having churned through six different permanent managers in just three years.
On-field issues have swiftly been followed by problems off it. In February this year, Leicester were deducted six points as punishment for exceeding the maximum loss threshold by more than £20m over the three-year assessment period ending in 2024.
Last month, the club reported another significant pre-tax loss of £71.1m during the 2024/25 season.
In recent years, Aiyawatt has wiped out hundreds of millions of pounds of the club's debt.
But that, as well as having one of the Championship's highest wage bills and boasting a squad brimming with international pedigree, could not save Leicester from slipping further down England's footballing pyramid.
Relegation to the third tier will have additional financial implications for the club and heap more misery on to an already frustrated fanbase.
A report from the office of Dame Rachel de Souza has found while the number of police strip searches of children has fallen by more than half in four years, there remain concerns about the use of force in some cases and persistent disparities in how white and black youths are treated.
Dame Rachel has said there should be a "much higher threshold" before a child is subjected to a "humiliating and traumatising" strip search.
Using data from the first half of 2024, her office estimated a total of 377 strip searches took place that year – down from 854 searches in 2020.
That was the year Child Q, a black teenager, was strip-searched in east London while on her period after police wrongly suspected her of carrying cannabis.
It did not come to light until a safeguarding report was published in March 2022, sparking protests.
The two Metropolitan Police officers involved in searching the 15-year-old were dismissed without notice after a disciplinary panel last summer found they had committed gross misconduct during the "disproportionate" incident.
'Too many still unnecessary'
Dame Rachel said the "promising signs of progress" since then in terms of the number of strip searches and how they are carried out have only masked the fact "that too many are still unnecessary, unsafe and underreported".
She described strip searching as "an intrusive and traumatic experience" that should "only ever be used as a last resort when there is an immediate risk of serious harm".
Her report found some searches between July 2023 and June 2024 were still being carried out in public view (26) and without an appropriate adult present (22).
Three in 10 (30%) involved children who had already been searched at least once before, which the commissioner said risked "significant and repeated damage to their mental wellbeing, their relationship with the police, and showing clear failure to successfully intervene with children".
Black children more likely to be subjected to force
Force, such as handcuffs or firearms and Tasers, was used in almost a fifth (17%) of all stop and searches of children between April 2024 and March 2025, but in 43% of instances where force was used, no further action was taken, raising the question why it was used at all.
Black children were almost five times as likely to have force used during a search than white children.
In cases where force was used against a white child to be searched, officers were more likely to note them as having a mental health need, but for black children the reason identified was more often their size or build, the report said.

The National Police Chiefs' Council said it understood that the "disproportionate use of stop and search" could "undermine trust between policing and communities".
But it said updates to official guidance on stop and search – including on the use of force and handcuffs – were out for public consultation and would help ensure all officers take a "child-centred approach".
A Home Office spokesperson said: "We're introducing extensive safeguards for children and young people for strip searching and bringing in reforms to drive up standards in policing, improve vetting and tackle misconduct."
Most of the cuts come from closing its loss-making CityLine fleet and retiring its 27 aircraft.
It blamed the cost of jet fuel, which it said had more than doubled, as well as labour disputes with its workforce.
Most airlines are dealing with soaring costs as Middle East oil supplies remain largely cut off due to the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz.
Consumers are also feeling the pinch with ticket prices starting to show significant rises.
Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary told Sky News this month there was a risk fuel supplies could be disrupted from May if the Strait of Hormuz remained shut.
He said oil costs were part of the "wider ramifications", but the more "immediate concern" was jet fuel supplies.
The head of the International Energy Agency also told Associated Press last week that Europe had "maybe six weeks of jet fuel left".
In a statement on Tuesday, Lufthansa said the 20,000 culled flights would save 40,000 tonnes of jet fuel over the period until October – adding that the cuts only represented 1% of its "available seat kilometres".
The company said it was consolidating its European network, and unprofitable routes from its Frankfurt and Munich hubs were going, while existing routes out of Zurich, Brussels and Vienna were being expanded.
The German carrier said passengers would still be able to access its global route network and long-haul connections.

The case against the Metropolitan Police's use of live facial recognition technology (LFT) in London was brought by two people over concerns it could be used arbitrarily or in a discriminatory way.
The cameras are usually mounted on vans in busy high streets and designed to identify people on police watchlists if they pass by.
Youth worker Shaun Thompson, one of the claimants, said he was misidentified by the technology. The other person bringing the claim was Silkie Carlo, from the group Big Brother Watch.
Their lawyer told the High Court that LFT would also make it "impossible" for Londoners to travel without their biometric data being taken.
But judges ruled on Tuesday that the claimants' human rights had not been breached and the force's policy gave an "adequate indication of the circumstances in which LFR will be used".
They also said the argument the technology risked discriminating against people due to their race had not been convincing.
"We are not able to accept, on the thin submissions advanced before us, that concerns about discrimination infect the legality of the policy," said Lord Justice Holgate and Mrs Justice Farbey.
The Met's lawyer told the court at least 801 arrests had been made last year "specifically as a result of LFR", and the privacy risk was "only minimal".
Sir Mark Rowley, the Met commissioner, welcomed the decision and said the tech "helps us catch more criminals quickly and precisely, saves officer time, and ultimately saves money".
He said there had only been about a dozen misidentifications "out of three million people walking past the cameras", and no one had been wrongly arrested as a result.
The policing minister, Sarah Jones, said: "I welcome today's ruling because there can be no true liberty when people live in fear of crime in their communities.
"Live facial recognition only locates specifically wanted people – law-abiding citizens have nothing to fear.
"This technology puts dangerous rapists and murderers behind bars – and I question any group who call that uncivil.
"We are rolling out facial recognition across the country with record investment to keep communities safe."
'Stop and search on steroids'
But Mr Thompson said he hoped to appeal and insisted he had been "misidentified, detained and threatened with arrest" due to LFT.
"No one should be treated like a criminal due to a computer error," he said.
"I was compliant with the police, but my bank cards and passport weren't enough to convince the police the facial recognition tech was wrong.
"It's like stop and search on steroids."
The Home Office has previously defended the use of LFR.
It said a person's image is "immediately and automatically" deleted if it does not match the watchlist and all deployments are "targeted, intelligence-led, time-bound, and geographically limited".
Thirteen forces were using it by the end of last year, and the home secretary said in January that the number of LFR vans would increase from 10 to 50.
However, Essex Police paused its use of the technology earlier this year after a study found it was "statistically significantly more likely" to correctly identify black people than other ethnicities.
While it was "extremely rare" for someone to be flagged up if they weren't on the list, the force said there was a "potential bias in the positive identification rate".
The force said in March it believed the issue had been fixed by updating the algorithm and the system was ready for the streets again.
