The 2023–24 season was the 119th season in the existence of Leicester City Football Club, and their 63rd (non-consecutive) season in the second tier of English football. This season marked the club's return to the Championship after nine consecutive seasons in the Premier League. In addition to the domestic league, they also competed in the season's editions of the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

The Foxes officially sealed promotion back to the Premier League following Queens Park Rangers' 4–0 win against Leeds United on 26 April 2024.[1] Three days later, following a 3–0 victory away to Preston North End, Leicester secured the Championship title and their record eighth second-tier title with one match to spare.[2]
