Norwich City Football Club is an English professional football club based in Norwich, Norfolk. Norwich were promoted to the top flight for the first time in 1972, but they have been referenced as a yo-yo club in recent years. The Canaries suffered relegation from the top tier on nine separate occasions, with only five clubs having been sent down more than them at this level. As of now, they reside in the second tier, after their most recent relegation from the Premiership in 2021-22. The club, however, has also won the League Cup twice, in 1962 and 1985.

Founded in 1902, Norwich have played their home games at Carrow Road since 1935, a ground that was constructed in just 82 days. Its record attendance of 43,984 was achieved in 1963 for an FA Cup game against Leicester City. Following new legislation and redevelopment into an all-seated stadium, its current capacity is 26,034.

The club have a long-standing rivalry with East Anglian neighbours Ipswich Town, with whom they contest the East Anglian derby. Other teams in the area also compete with Norwich for the informal Pride of Anglia award.
