Leicester Lions RFC is a competitive and community-focused rugby union club based in Blaby, Leicestershire, England. Formed in 1998 through the merger of two historic local clubs – Westleigh RFC and Blaby RFC – the Lions have since developed into one of the strongest semi-professional sides in the Midlands region.

The club's First XV currently competes in National League 2, which is the third tier of English rugby union, sitting just below the RFU Championship and Premiership Rugby. National League 2 features some of the best semi-professional and aspiring professional teams across the country, making it a fiercely competitive environment.

Known for their physicality, strong set-piece, and commitment to developing local talent, the Leicester Lions have built a reputation for playing an exciting and disciplined brand of rugby. The club is also deeply embedded in the local community, with a thriving junior and youth section that serves as a development pathway for the senior squads.

Home matches are played at Westleigh Park, a welcoming ground that hosts a loyal fan base and provides an excellent atmosphere for rugby at all levels.

Leicester Lions continue to grow both on and off the pitch, striving for success in National League 2 while maintaining their grassroots values and commitment to the sport’s core traditions.
