Reading FC defender Andy Yiadom will kick-start the 2020/21 Championship campaign against Derby County at Pride Park on September 12.

The Royals' first home game comes a week later when they host Barnsley at Madejski Stadium.

On Boxing Day, Reading will face Luton Town at home before some lengthy away trips around New Year with a visit to Swansea City on December 29, and then Huddersfield Town away to see in 2021 on January 2.

December is the busiest month as things stand, with eight games in 27 days although all fixtures are subject to change.

Royals' final away day is at Norwich City at the start of May, while they conclude the season with a home game against Huddersfield on May 8.

Yiadom returned to first-team training after a hamstring injury ruled him out for virtually all of the final nine games of last season.
