During the 2004–05 English football season, Queens Park Rangers F.C. competed in the inaugural season of the Football League Championship, having been promoted from the old Second Division (now renamed League One) the previous season.

Season summary

After a slow start to the season, QPR won seven games in a row to rise up to third in the Championship table, though the good form didn't last and the West London side eventually finished in a comfortable midtable position - 12 points from the relegation zone and 11 points off the play-off places.

QPR were eliminated from the League Cup in the second round by Premiership side Aston Villa and the FA Cup in the third round by fellow Championship side Nottingham Forest.
