Coventry vs Leicester kick-off time

Championship - Championship

Coventry Building Society Arena

Today's game between Coventry and Leicester will kick off at 7 am ET and 12 pm GMT.

Match context

This clash carries added intensity due to regional rivalry, but the stakes extend well beyond local bragging rights. Leicester arrive as one of the division’s promotion favourites, aiming to maintain pressure at the top of the table, while Coventry continue their push to stay firmly in the play-off conversation.

The Coventry Building Society Arena has been a challenging venue for visiting sides this season, and the Sky Blues will be eager to use home advantage against one of the Championship’s strongest squads. Frank Lampard’s Coventry have built a reputation as a well-organised and resilient Championship side, particularly at home. Their success has been underpinned by a disciplined defensive structure, energetic midfield play, and a willingness to press opponents aggressively when out of possession.

The Sky Blues are currently flying in the Championship, leading the pack with 52 points from  26 matches, six points clear of second-placed Middlesbrough.

Meanwhile, Leicester City come into the fixture with promotion still firmly in their sights as well, despite being in 12th on the table.  As one of the strongest teams in the division, they possess both the depth and quality expected of a side that has recently competed at the highest level.

They have consistently created chances this season and boast a strong goal return, making them one of the most dangerous attacking sides in the Championship.

However, away matches against organised opponents have occasionally tested Leicester’s patience, and they will need to remain focused to avoid being caught out by Coventry’s counter-attacking threat.

Meetings between Coventry and Leicester have historically been competitive, with tight scorelines and physical battles often defining the fixture. While Leicester may hold the advantage in terms of recent history and squad strength, Coventry have shown they are capable of making life difficult for higher-ranked opponents, particularly on home turf. Derby dynamics can often level the playing field, adding an unpredictable edge to the contest.
