The short answer
To leave an invitational FPL league, open Leagues & Cups, select the league and use the available leave option.
You cannot leave every type of league. Automatic global leagues cannot be left, and Head-to-Head leagues are locked after fixtures are generated.

Why can the leave option be missing?
Head-to-Head fixtures are locked
Once fixtures have been generated, managers cannot join or leave because it would affect the schedule.
You are in the league's Cup
The official FAQ says a manager cannot leave a Classic league while entered in that league's associated Cup competition.
You are the administrator
The admin may need to resolve league administration before leaving.
It is an automatic league
Overall, country, club-supporter and Gameweek-start leagues are automatic and cannot be left.
Can you rejoin?
A manager removed from an invitational league can normally try to rejoin with the current league code. The administrator may need to reopen entry.
Leaving does not delete your FPL team.
OneFPL verdict
Use the website if the app does not show the control. Before leaving, save the current code if you may want to return.
League hosts can manage transparent rules and prizes through the OneFPL Prize Tracker.
