Luton are set to return to Championship action, but Kenilworth Road will remain shut for fans as matches are played behind closed doors.

Luton Town’s remaining Championship fixtures have been decided and they will kick-off their league survival bid with a home match against Preston North End on Saturday June 20 (3pm).

The Hatters will have to squeeze their final nine games into a 32-day period, with four more games at an empty Kenilworth Road and the remaining games at away grounds that will also have no supporters in them. 

Town’s final game at home to Blackburn Rovers is scheduled for Wednesday July 22, but with relegation potentially still to be decided, a kick-off time is still to be confirmed. 

The dates for Town’s remaining fixtures are: 

JUNE

  • Saturday 20th – Luton Town v Preston North End (3pm)
  • Saturday 27th – Swansea City v Luton Town (3pm)
  • Tuesday 30th – Leeds United v Luton Town (7.45pm)

  • Saturday 18th – Hull City v Luton Town (3pm)
  • Wednesday 22nd – Luton Town v Blackburn Rovers (KO TBC)
