Officers from the Met made the arrests at QPR's Hounslow headquarters on Thursday, with the two players thought to be members of the club’s academy.
According to reports, both footballers are men believed to be aged in their late teens.
It's thought the arrests follow an incident at a nightclub in Kingston, south London, earlier this month.
The suspects remain in custody amid the ongoing investigation, the Met confirmed on Friday.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed the arrests to the outlet, saying: "On Thursday, 27 February, police arrested two men in their late teens on suspicion of voyeurism.
"This follows a report of an incident which took place at a nightclub in Kingston on Wednesday, 5 February
"Both suspects remain in custody and enquiries are ongoing. The victim continues to be supported by specialist officers."
Under the law, voyeurism is an offence defined as "an act of gaining sexual gratification from observing or recording someone engaged in a private activity without their consent."
It comes as the club issued a statement following the arrest of the two players.
A QPR statement issued to the Mail says: "Queens Park Rangers Football Cub are aware of an alleged incident involving two academy players.
"The individuals are helping police with their enquiries.
"As this is an ongoing investigation, the club will not be making any further comment at this time."
