Reading get their first Championship season in almost a decade off and running at Crystal Palace next month.

The Royals were relegated from the Women's Super League last season after nine seasons competing among the elite.

In a summer of upheaval, former boss Kelly Chambers has left along with 13 first-team regulars as the club get used to life as a part-time set-up.

Starting the campaign on Sunday, August 27, Reading travel to South London to visit the Eagles.

Charlton Athletic are the first visitors to the SCL Stadium of the season on Saturday, September 2.

The likes of Sunderland, Sheffield United and Birmingham City are among the 11 opponents Reading will face in the 12-team division.

A new manager is yet to be confirmed, nor any player arrivals.
