List of Queens Park Rangers F.C. seasons

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

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]

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 2016–2017 season, the team have spent 40 seasons in the third tier of the English football league system, 28 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.
