Coventry City began in 1883 as Singers F.C., set up after a meeting between William Stanley and colleagues from the Singer Cycle Company, and took the Coventry City name in 1898. The Football League accepted them in 1919, and Harry Storer's arrival as manager in 1931 launched an era of goals: 108 in 1931–32, which earned the nickname The Old Five. Jimmy Hill's appointment in 1961 started the Sky Blue revolution, with titles in the Third Division in 1964 and the Second Division in 1967 and the second of those carried the club up to the top flight for the first time. Under George Curtis and John Sillett they reached the 1987 FA Cup final. Relegation in 2000–01 ended 34 years in the top flight, and the dark years brought a groundshare with Northampton Town from 2013. The EFL Trophy in 2016–17 was the first trophy in 30 years. Doug King bought the club in 2023, and the next season brought an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United at Wembley. Then on 17 April 2026 a 1–1 draw with Blackburn Rovers sealed promotion to the Premier League.
The Coventry Building Society Arena holds 32,609 and opened in 2005, when Coventry beat Queen's Park Rangers 3–0 in the first game. The old Highfield Road staged its last league game that year, a 6–2 win over Derby County. The new ground gained planning permission in 1998, became part of England's 2006 FIFA World Cup bid in 2000 and was cut back after delays. Since then the story has been a rough one: a rent dispute led to a season at Sixfields Stadium in 2013–14, and from 2019 to 2021 Coventry played home games at St Andrew's. The Coventry Building Society name arrived in 2021 through a sponsorship deal, and Ashley's 2022 takeover of the ground raised eviction fears before an agreement kept the club there until at least 2028.
Aston Villa are the traditional rival, and through the 1980s and 1990s and beyond, they were Coventry's main rivals as the two kept meeting in the First Division and the Premier League. Many Coventry supporters now place Leicester City just as high, and the M69 Derby returned in the 2023–24 Championship season after eleven years. Wolverhampton Wanderers were the biggest feud in the 1960s and 1970s, the clubs both being promoted in 1967 and meeting in the Second Division title decider. The oddest one is Sunderland, a long-distance grudge from the last day of 1976–77, when Coventry and Bristol City drew 2–2 knowing it would send Sunderland down. Birmingham City is a local rivalry that softened after the 2019 to 2021 St Andrew's groundshare, and West Bromwich Albion complete the Midlands set. For punters, the Villa, Leicester and Wolves games carry the most history.
The head-to-head with Leicester is level: Coventry have 2 wins and 2 defeats in 5 (all competitions).
