Reading Start Season Home Against Peterborough

Reading's fixtures for the new 2023/2024 League One campaign have been released, and the Royals will kick-off the new season at home against Peterborough on Saturday 5 August. The new fixture list really does hammer home Reading's relegation with August seeing the Royals also play Port Vale (away), Cheltenham (home), Stevenage (home) and Exeter City (away).

Boxing Day sees the return trip to Peterborough and New Years Day the Royals will play at home to Exeter City.

Reading will of course get to play Oxford United again in League football this season. Oxford visit The Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday 14 October. Our trip to the Kassam Stadium, which is sure to be a sell out, is on Saturday 3 February.

Reading finish the 2023/2024 season with a home match against Blackpool on Saturday 27 April. Who knows where Reading will find themselves in the League One table at that stage of the season?

    The first month of the season really drives home how depressing it all is. Yeah, I was just thinking the same. Just a massive :| about every single fixture listed.

    Normally you'd look at that and think - cool 3 home games in August, really good chance to start quickly - but without knowing what our team will be, it's just games. 4 of our last 5 away games are Derby, Bolton, Barnsley and Wigan - which is likely to be tough. Bit annoyed Port Vale away is so early as will have been visiting family in Stoke just a few days earlier and was hoping to be able to coincide a trip with that later in the year.

    First game v Oxford is 14th October.

    We have Wigan 3 times - is that because we both get the chance to get some points back?

    opener against a team who will push hard for top 6 then 4 games against teams you would expect to not be pushing for promotion at all pretty reasonable opening month that!

  • PA paultheroyal 22 Jun 2023 · 9:09am

    That would be a tough start to the season. First game granted - as for the rest, not a chance if we have any form of expectations - you would take that all day long.

    Tough opening fixture, but at least we're at home. I hope we've got some bargain signings lined up!
