Hatters restart Championship season against Preston as fixtures are announced

Luton will restart their 2019-20 Sky Bet Championship campaign on Saturday, June 20 at home to Preston North End after the revised fixture schedule was released by the EFL today.

The game against Alex Neil's side, which should have taken place on Saturday, March 14, was the first to be postponed when football was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and is scheduled to kick-off at 3pm.

Town follow that a week later with a trip to Swansea City on June 27, with another away outing three days later, against table-toppers Leeds United at Elland Road.

The fixture list will then follow the original intended sequence prior to the suspension, meaning a home double header with Reading and Barnsley on Saturday, July 4 and Tuesday, July 7, ahead of a trip Huddersfield on Saturday, July 11.

QPR are due to visit Kenilworth Road on Tuesday, July 14, before the final away game of the campaign at Hull City on Saturday, July 18 is followed by a home date with Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday, July 22.

All fixture dates and kick-off times are subject to change due to possible selection for live broadcast, a TV selection for an opposing club causing a knock-on effect, or by prior agreement between the two clubs involved.

The EFL have confirmed 11 fixtures selected for Sky Sports coverage over the first three rounds following the restart, with Town's opening three matches not among them.
