Promoted teams moved up to Leicestershire 1 and there was no relegation.

The league ran for two spells between 1987–1992 and 1996–1998 before it was permanently cancelled and all teams transferred into East Midlands/Leicestershire 3.

At the end of the 1991–92 season all of the East Midlands and Leicestershire leagues were merged and the majority of sides in Leicestershire 2 transferred to the new East Midlands/Leicestershire 3.

[c] After an absence of four seasons Leicestershire 2 was reintroduced, this time sitting at tier 11 of the league system.

Remerging of all the East Midlands and Leicestershire leagues meant that Leicestershire 2 was cancelled at the end of the 1997–98 season and all teams transferred into East Midlands/Leicestershire 3.
