OXFORD United’s preparations for next season will include hosting Queens Park Rangers.

The Sky Bet Championship side, who appointed Mark Warburton as manager this week, will visit the Kassam Stadium on Saturday, July 20.

United have confirmed six other pre-season friendly matches, all away to non-league opposition.

After starting with a marquee fixture away to an as-yet unnamed opponent on July 7, Karl Robinson’s side have arranged three matches in as many days against Oxford City, Thame United and Brackley Town.

A visit to Vanarama National League side Eastleigh has been scheduled for the following week.

And after a second home friendly, yet to be confirmed, the dress rehearsal will be at Solihull Moors on July 27 – a week before the League One campaign kicks off.
