Leyton Orient have announced the majority of their pre-season fixtures, as efforts step up towards a September, 12 start date for the new League Two season.

It’s going to be a different pre-season for clubs this season, as the continued impact of Covid-19 means more restrictions to the usual schedules.

That said, The O’s have a varied and well-balanced pre-season schedule to look forward to – which begins this Saturday 15th August.

Unfortunately, all games will take place behind closed doors and do not attempt to travel to the stadium.

The fixtures are as follows:

15th August – Reading U23’s (H) – 1pm

19th August – TBC

22nd August – Northampton Town (A) – 1pm

25th August – West Ham U23’s (H) – 7pm

29th August – TBC

31st August – Bishop Stortford (A)

The O’s returned to action last week, when a inter-squad friendly finished 1-1 at the Breyer Group Stadium, with goals from Jordan Maguire-Drew and Conor Wilkinson.
