Reading Football Club played the 2009–10 season in theFootball League Championship, having lost 3–0 on aggregate toBurnley in theChampionshipplayoffsemi-final. Reading had a new manager, Brian McDermott, who succeeded ex-boss Brendan Rodgers on 27 January 2010, after excelling in an FA Cup run as caretaker manager.

Reading travelled toDidcot Town for their first Pre-Season match where they ran out 5–1 winners with goals from Sigurdsson, Bignall, Henry, Harper and Church. Reading then lost 2–1 atKettering Town with Church (11') scoring the only goal for the Berkshire side. Reading drew 2–2 withPremier League side,Chelsea in their final Pre-Season match, with goals fromJimmy Kebe andScott Davies. However between the defeat to Kettering Town and draw with Chelsea Reading embarked on a tour of Sweden

Reading beatJonsereds 8–0 with Robson-Kanu scoring a hat trick, Church and Davies scoring braces and a goal from Gunnarsson. The Royals' next game was againstTolo IF whom they beat 4–0 with Shane Long scoring all four of Reading's goals. Reading played Qviding in their 3rd and final game of the tour, winning 2–1, with both goals scored by Noel Hunt after Reading were 1–0 down.

A Reading XI beatTooting & Mitcham 3–0. Later on in the preseason campaign another Reading XI visitedFarnborough where the Hampshire side were eventual 3–2 winners.Reading also played a 'Champions XI' in aTestimonial match, for former playerGraeme Murty, winning the match 3–2.

With the kick-off to the 2009–10 Championship season beginning on Saturday 8 August, Reading playedNottingham Forest and just like the season before, drew. Other fixtures in August were the heavy defeats toNewcastle andSheffield United. However a draw away atSwansea and a convincing win at Barnsley were positives. Top scorer at the end of August isNoel Hunt

First match of the month saw Reading draw at home toDoncaster Rovers 0–0. The Royals then lost at home toCardiff 1–0. The defeat was followed up by a loss toPeterborough. Despite the Royals being 2–0 up at half time, the lead was lost andPeterborough ended up winning 3–2. The month ended with further disappointment at the Madejski Stadium where, despite again taking the lead through an early goal fromGrzegorz Rasiak, Reading could only draw 1–1 withWatford.

Leroy Lita returned to the Madejski Stadium on 2 October and scored the visitors second goal, asMiddlesbrough won 2–0, extending Reading's winless run at home to 14 league games.
