Leicester City supporters will be able to see their side lift the League One trophy following the Scunthorpe United match at the Walkers Stadium on Friday, April 24.
The Foxes secured the title following their 2-0 victory over Southend United at Roots Hall on Saturday.
And the City faithful can celebrate promotion back to the Championship with their fellow supporters along with what looks set to be a sell out crowd.
Chairman Milan Mandaric said: "The supporters of this football club have been to the depths of despair and they deserve this promotion. They have stuck with us through thick and thin and I am so pleased that we have achieved our goal for them.
"We have now got a great chance to celebrate following the game against Scunthorpe on Friday evening. It would be fantastic to play in front of a full house at our home."
And boss Nigel Pearson echoed his Chairman's sentiments.
He added: "I am so pleased that we have done this on our own terms. We knew that we had to come to Southend to get a victory and we have done that.
"We now aim to put on a show for the fans when we take on Scunthorpe at the Walkers Stadium next week. I'm sure it will be a fantastic evening for everyone."
