Reading have been deducted six points by the English Football League for breaching financial rules.
The EFL determined the Royals lost £57.8m between 2017 and 2021 - the EFL's limit for that period is £39m.
A further six-point deduction is suspended until the end of next season, provided they comply with a business plan which includes player spending.
Reading drop from 16th to 19th in the Championship, on 16 points, four clear of the relegation places.
The Berkshire club have been under a transfer embargo since the summer as a result of their breach of profitability and sustainability rules.
Reading are the second Championship side in as many days to have a points deduction imposed on them after Derby were docked a further nine points for breaches of EFL accounting rules, taking their overall deductions this season to 21 points.
