Overview
- An independent commission will hear Leicester City's PSR case over two days this week, with a decision targeted before Christmas or early in the new year.
- Leicester face three charges covering a 2023-24 PSR breach, missing the December 31 accounts deadline, and failing to provide full and prompt assistance to investigators.
- Cross-league enforcement was enabled by rule changes after Leicester’s earlier jurisdiction victory, with a May 2025 arbitration ruling confirming the Premier League’s right to investigate.
- A nine-point deduction is being described as a realistic outcome depending on the findings, though the size of the alleged breach remains undisclosed and any penalty would likely be appealed.
- Separately, Premier League clubs have adopted season-by-season SCR and SSR rules from 2026-27, tying on‑field spending to 85% of football-related revenue and prompting experts to suggest the EFL could consider similar reforms.
