Leicester City's Four European Campaigns So Far
The Club will enter the competition - formerly the UEFA Cup - in the group stage, with fixtures set to take place between October and December in 2020.
Ahead of the Europa League group stage on Friday, LCFC.com reflects on Leicester's four campaigns on the continent over the years, starting in the late summer of 1961...
As a result of reaching the FA Cup Final at the conclusion of the 1960/61 season, losing out to Tottenham Hotspur, City qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup a season later.
Later replaced by the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and then abolished in 1999, the European Cup Winners' Cup was reserved for the victors of European domestic cup competitions.
However, as Spurs had been entered into the European Cup as First Division champions, their space was allotted to Leicester, making their maiden appearance in the preliminary round.
A two-legged victory was sealed against Irish Cup winners Glenavon, with James Walsh, Colin Appleton, Ken Keyworth and Hugh Mcllmoyle among the scorers in a 7-2 aggregate success.
City were rewarded with a glamour tie against Spanish giants Atlético Madrid - who would become familiar foes for the Foxes - in the first round proper of the competition.
Despite sealing an encouraging 1-1 draw in the first leg at Filbert Street, when Keyworth's opener was cut out in the last minute by Mendoza, heartbreak was to follow in the Spanish capital.
Leicester's first of three competitive visits to the Vicente Calderón would end in a 2-0 defeat for Matt Gillies' men as Atlético gathered steam in an ultimately successful bid to lift the trophy.
Atléti Defeat Foxes Despite Marshall's Opener
Goals from Juninho and Christian Vieri overturn Ian Marshall's opener for Leicester City at the Vicente Calderón in 1997.
Thirty-six years later, following Leicester's 1997 League Cup triumph over Middlesbrough, Martin O'Neill was the man in charge as the Club returned to European football in the UEFA Cup.
Their first opponents? Atlético Madrid. In mid-September, a month which would end with O'Neill scooping the Premier League Manager of the Month prize, City travelled to Spain for the first leg.
To the shock of Madrid natives - and indeed the thousands of travelling Foxes fans - the visitors took the lead as Ian Marshall bundled a close-range effort in against a side boasting £50M worth of talent.
Naturally, Atléti recovered and began to dominate proceedings with Juninho Paulista and then Christian Vieri - from the penalty spot - turning the match on its head and giving the hosts a 2-1 lead.
Back in Leicester, a night of controversy ensued. With City sensing an opportunity to capitalise after Juan López's red card for Madrid, Garry Parker was then inexplicably dismissed himself nine minutes later.
As O'Neill fumed on the touchline - after seeing Parker seemingly sent off for taking a free-kick too quickly for the referee's liking - Juninho and Kiko broke Leicester's hearts late on at Filbert Street.
City & Red Star Share Spoils In UEFA Cup
Gerry Taggart's header registers a 1-1 draw for Leicester City in the UEFA Cup First Round first leg against Red Star Belgrade in 2000.
Another reward for League Cup success came in 2000, following City's final win against Tranmere Rovers, although Peter Taylor was now the man in charge ahead of a second UEFA Cup appearance.
The Foxes were drawn to face Serbian side Red Star Belgrade against the backdrop of a season which saw Leicester City sitting atop of the Premier League table after eight matches.
The first leg, staged at Filbert Street, was a tense affair, but the Foxes fell behind as the smoke from a flare distracted Tim Flowers in the home side's net.
Milenko Ačimovič's long-range effort inside the opening minute, while usually a simple stop, caught Flowers by surprise as it emerged through a thick cloud of smoke in front of the Double Decker Stand.
City recovered, though, with Gerry Taggart crashing in a header inside the penalty area to leave the tie finely poised ahead of the second leg, which took place in Vienna due to unrest in Belgrade.
Goran Drulić fired the 'home' side in front at Ernst-Happel-Stadion, but Muzzy Izzet was able to restore parity on the scoresheet before the interval during a lively encounter in Austria's capital.
City's bid to reach the second round, though, began to unravel after the break as first Ivan Gvozdenović and then Drulić again scored the goals to seal a 4-2 aggregate win for Red Star.
Leicester Stun Sevilla To Reach UCL Last-Eight
Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton score the goals, while Kasper Schmeichel saves a penalty, in a European epic on Filbert Way.
Leicester's best European showing undoubtedly came in 2016/17 as the Foxes marked their maiden outing in the UEFA Champions League with a series of sensational performances.
Making their debut in European football's platinum club competition, following the magnificent Premier League title success in 2016, Claudio Ranieri's men were grouped with FC Porto, Copenhagen and Club Brugge.
Marc Albrighton earned the honour of scoring Leicester's first goal in the competition in a 3-0 win in Bruges in September, while Riyad Mahrez found the net twice more for the flying Foxes.
Successive 1-0 victories - at home against Porto and Copenhagen - followed for Leicester, before a 0-0 stalemate away in the Danish capital, and a 2-1 home success over Brugge.
While a much-changed Foxes side were beaten at Porto, Ranieri's champions emerged as group winners to face Sevilla in the round of 16, losing out in the first leg 2-1 at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.
One of the greatest nights in the Club's history followed, as Wes Morgan and Albrighton got the goals, while Kasper Schmeichel saved a penalty to secure a 3-2 aggregate win for a side overseen by Craig Shakespeare.
Atléti, though, would once again deny Leicester in the last-eight. Antoine Griezmann's penalty booked a 1-0 win in Madrid, before Saúl Ñíguez's header reduced Jamie Vardy's strike to a consolation in Leicester.
