List of Queens Park Rangers F.C. seasons

Queens Park Rangers Football Club, also known as QPR, is an English association football club based in White City, London. The club originated from a merger between St Jude's and Christchurch Rangers in 1886, both of whom were founded in 1882.[1] Initially an amateur side who played in the West London League and the second division of the London League,[2][3] QPR joined the Southern Football League when they turned professional in 1898.[4] After they won the league during the 1907–08 season, they participated in the first Charity Shield match and lost to Manchester United in a replay.[5]

For details of the current season, see 2019–20 Queens Park Rangers F.C. season.

The Queens Park Rangers team from the 1907–08 season who won the Southern League for the first time and competed in the first Charity Shield match

They joined the Football League Third Division in 1920,[6] and in 1967 became the first Third Division side to win the League Cup.[5] They have won four divisional titles in the English football league system, two in the second tier and two in the third. Their best placed finish in the system was as runners-up in the Football League First Division in the 1975–76 season, while their best achievement in the FA Cup was also as runners-up, in the 1981–82 competition.

As of the end of the 2019–20 season, the team have spent 40 seasons in the third tier of the English football league system, 31 in the second and 23 in the top tier. The table details the team's achievements and the top goalscorer in senior first-team competitions from their first professional season in the Southern Football League in the 1899–1900 season to the end of the most recently completed season. It includes the tournaments that QPR participated in during the First and Second World Wars, which are not counted against players' official statistics as they were unofficial and considered to be friendlies.

Notes
  1. Divisions are sorted according to their level within the English football league system at the time.
  2. In seasons when the club played in more than one league, the column is sorted by the league with the most games, with the exception of the 1939–40 season.
  3. Beginning with the 1925–26 season, the FA Cup was structured so that the third round proper contained 64 teams. Prior to that date, the structure had varied, so rounds are not directly comparable to the round of the same name after 1925.[7][8]
  4. The Football League Cup competition started in the 1960–61 season.[9]
  5. Includes goals scored in all first-team competitions as listed in this table, including wartime competitions.
  6. QPR reached the final of the tournament, but their opponents refused to play the match.[15]
  7. In 1920, the Football League formed a third division comprising the majority of the Southern League First Division clubs.[29]
  8. Goddard scored 37 goals in the Third Division South.[30]
  9. The 1938–39 Third Division South Cup was never completed.[31]
  10. When the Second World War began, the 1939–40 Football League season was abandoned with three matches played and QPR in 16th position.[32]
  11. The cup consisted of an initial league round followed by a final.[33]
  12. As the league during this season consisted of teams who each played a different number of games, goal average was used to rank the teams.[34]
  13. The FA Cup was contested in 1945–46. From the first round proper to the sixth round (quarter-final), results were determined on aggregate score over two legs.[7]
  14. Allen scored 30 goals in the Third Division.[30]
  15. Marsh scored 30 goals in the Third Division.[30]
  16. Givens scored 23 goals in the Third Division.[30]
  17. Allen scored 28 goals in the Second Division.[30]
  18. The 1981–82 season saw the introduction of three points for a win instead of two.[35]
  19. Rangers drew 1–1 with Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium in the 1982 FA Cup Final, losing 1–0 in the replay.[36]
