During the 1988–89 English football season, Queens Park Rangers competed in the First Division for the sixth year running.

## Season summary

[edit]

QPR dropped from their fifth-place finish the previous season to ninth in the First Division. Jim Smith resigned as their manager in December 1988, to take over as manager of Newcastle United, and was replaced by the former England international Trevor Francis as player-manager. The team's league form improved in the new year, and they lost just two of their last fifteen league matches. They reached the fifth round of the League Cup but were knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round.[1]

## Kit

[edit]

Adidas continued as QPR's kit manufacturers. Airline KLM remained front of shirt kit sponsors.

## Omniturf

[edit]

The artificial pitch of Omniturf that was installed at Loftus Road was removed in April 1988 prior to the season starting. Souvenir swatches of the pitch were later sold at the club's retail store.
