QPR's preseason schedule is as follows: July 16 - Gillingham away July 24 - Manchester United at home July 27 - Cambridge away July 31 - Leicester at home That is an amazing line up. The Euros finish and then a few days later we begin a 4 game build up that includes playing two of the bigger Prem teams at home. Well done to Lee Hoos and everyone else at the club involved in scheduling these matches.
Yes, that's a nice pre-season schedule. It'll be interesting to see what percentage of fans will be allowed at Loftus Road for those.
QPR 2, Portsmouth 1, in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Harlington. https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/club-news/qpr-overcome-portsmouth-in-pre-season-friendly-070721/ 22 players played 45 minutes each. Chair and De Wijs sat out with minor knocks.
Unfortunately, the Gillingham match was canceled due to a COVID-19 outbreak at Gillingham! Tickets are available for the home (Manchester United, Leicester City) and away (Cambridge United) games, so supporters will be able to attend all of these games.
QPR 4-2 Manchester United That went quite nicely. Passing was good. Attitude was good (gave up a goal in the 3rd minute, but answered well). A fine start to the pre-season. https://www.qpr.co.uk/fixtures/first-team/2021/qpr-v-manchester-united/ https://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/football-qpr-fc-beat-manutd-in-friendly Want to watch?

Everyone knows that pre-season means nothing, but it sure is fun to watch QPR trash Man U (even if it was basically their youth team) and play a 6 goal thriller with Leicester. Those two team did fairly well in the Prem last year, and it sets us up well to start the year on a bit of a bounce.
