Pre-season Matches

Leicester City can confirm behind-closed-doors pre-season friendlies against Birmingham City and Sheffield Wednesday as part of their preparations for the 2020/21 season.

First up for Brendan Rodgers’ side will be a visit to Championship side Birmingham City on Wednesday 26 August, with the fixture taking place over 120 minutes at the Blues’ training ground from 1pm.

The trip to the West Midlands will be followed by a further fixture against fellow Championship team Sheffield Wednesday, which will be played at Loughborough University Stadium on Saturday 29 August, kicking off at midday.

Multi-camera coverage of each game will be available on LCFC TV, with pre and post-match build-up also provided live from the LCFC TV studio team at King Power Stadium, as the Foxes look to sharpen their skills ahead of the Premier League curtain-raiser in September.

Both games will be played behind closed doors due to COVID-19, so in the interests of safety, supporters are kindly asked to support their team by following live through LCFC TV and not gather at any of the venues.

Our first pre-season game is on Wednesday? I'm guessing that means the players are already back in training then?

Really hope the team will be fit enough and ready for the new season.

As Leicester City appear to have given up any pretence that they give a shit about fans by actually reporting on anything happening at the club, here is a note from Lincoln that we played a match yesterday:



Yes, that Tom Hopper.

Leicester City’s pre-season preparations will continue with a behind-closed-doors friendly fixture against Championship side Blackburn Rovers at King Power Stadium on Saturday 5 September.

The game, which kicks off at 1pm, will be once again played without supporters but will be screened live and free on LCFC TV and YouTube as the Foxes build up to their Premier League curtain-raiser away to West Bromwich Albion.

The King Power Stadium fixture will be City’s third of pre-season following previous outings for Brendan Rodgers’ side against Birmingham City and Sheffield Wednesday, with multi-camera coverage available for supporters who have registered for free with LCFC TV.

Pre-match build up from the LCFC TV studio team will also be available as well as post-match reaction from the Manager and members of the First Team squad.

A reminder that the game will be played behind closed doors due to COVID-19, so in the interests of safety, supporters are kindly asked to support their team by following live through LCFC TV and YouTube and not to gather at King Power Stadium.
