Leicester City F.C., an Association football Club, won the Premier League in the 2015-16 season despite being 5000-1 underdogs, an example of an upset[1]

An upset occurs in a competition, frequently in electoral politics or sports, when the party popularly expected to win (the "favorite") is defeated by (or, in the case of sports, ties with) an underdog whom the majority expects to lose, defying the conventional wisdom. It is often used in reference to beating the betting odds in sports, or beating the opinion polls in electoral politics.
