How the warm-ups are going
The friendly results so far, before the league gets going. It steps aside once the real games begin on 21 August.
Palace begin again, with a European trophy still in the cabinet.
The last two seasons brought Crystal Palace their first ever major trophy, the 2024/25 FA Cup, and then their first European trophy, the 2025/26 UEFA Conference League. Oliver Glasner left after that win in Europe, and Pierre Sage arrived from RC Lens in June on a three-year deal to 2029. The summer has been quiet so far, with Oscar Mingueza in on a free and Maxence Lacroix sold to Chelsea. Palace open away at Everton.
A mid-table league finish and silverware in the cups
These numbers are from the 2025/26 Premier League season, not the one about to start. Palace finished 15th in the league but won the UEFA Conference League, beating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in the final, and lifted the FA Community Shield in August 2025 after a 2-2 draw with Liverpool that went to penalties.
The Conference League was Palace's first European trophy, following the 2024/25 FA Cup, the first major trophy in the club's history.

The next Palace match, tracked here
It is pre-season, so nothing is live yet. When the whistle goes at Selhurst or on the road, this is where the score, the shape and the shift-by-shift numbers will land. For now, here is the first confirmed fixture of 2026/27, still waiting to kick off.
The numbers fill in once the whistle goes.
Not started. This is Pierre Sage's first league match in charge, away at Everton on the opening weekend. Kick-off is still some way off, so the possession bars, the shot counts and the formation dots above are placeholders until the game is under way.
How to catch the opener
Everton against Palace kicks off at 15:00 BST on Saturday 22 August. A UK broadcaster had not been confirmed in the sources we checked when this page was built.
Saturday afternoon 3pm kick-offs are traditionally not shown live on television in the United Kingdom, so unless the fixture is moved for broadcast selection, the most reliable way to follow it will be live text and radio commentary. Broadcast picks for the opening weeks are usually announced by the Premier League and its partners a few weeks before the season starts. Check the official listings closer to the date so you have the confirmed channel and any time change.

The trophy cabinet
Palace won their first major trophy in 2024/25 and their first European trophy the season after, so the cabinet is small but hard-won. Alongside the majors sit the promotions and lower honours that shaped the long climb.
Palace also earned several promotions between the divisions across the decades, including play-off wins in 2004 and 2013. For the full and definitive list of honours and records, the official club site is the place to check.
Fan channels and watchalongs
If you like company on a matchday, Palace have a lively independent scene alongside the club's own channel. The first card is the official Crystal Palace channel, and the rest are run by supporters, so their opinions are their own rather than the club's. Palace's stand-out fan media is The Five Year Plan, one of the best-known football fanzines in the country. Beyond the ones listed here there are more channels and blogs, so if you are after a particular style it is worth a search too. We have only listed channels we are confident are real and established.

Matchday at Selhurst Park
Everything for a home game: getting a ticket, the ground itself, getting there and parking, and where to eat and drink around it. For away days, the travel planner is further down.
Getting a ticket at Selhurst Park
Selhurst Park is one of the smaller grounds in the Premier League and Palace regularly sell out, so a membership and a little planning go a long way. Availability and prices vary from game to game and change through the season, and we do not sell tickets or list prices here. Always buy through the club or an official channel, and be wary of unofficial resale.
Match tickets
For any tickets that reach general sale, availability is limited and often sells quickly after members have had their window. The official tickets page is where to see what is on sale, join a waiting list and read the current terms.
Official tickets pagePalace membership
A club membership is the usual way in for supporters without a season ticket, giving access to ticket sales and, through loyalty points, a better chance in the ballot for the biggest and away games. The membership page sets out the options and what each one includes.
Membership and ticketing infoMatchday hospitality
Official hospitality packages offer premium seating with food and drink included, sold directly by the club. Prices and what is included vary by fixture and lounge, so the official site is the place to see current options and enquire.
Hospitality at Selhurst ParkTicket resale
When home games sell out, the only safe way to buy or resell a spare seat is through the club's own official ticketing, not a third-party site. Any resale or exchange the club runs is reached through the official tickets pages, so start there and avoid unofficial resellers.
Official ticketingGetting to the ground and parking
Selhurst Park sits in a residential part of Croydon in South London and is best reached by train, which the club encourages on a matchday. There is no Underground station nearby, but three National Rail stations are within a short walk. Driving and parking are a different matter, as the streets around the ground are tightly restricted on match days.
Nearest stations
Three railway stations sit within a short walk of the ground. Selhurst, Norwood Junction and Thornton Heath are all close to the turnstiles and are served by National Rail into central London. Palace is not on the Underground, so the train is the natural way in, and it helps spread the crowds after the final whistle.
Plan a train journeyDriving and parking
Matchday parking around Selhurst Park is very limited, and the surrounding residential streets fall under event-day parking restrictions, so parking near the ground is not realistic for most visitors. If you must drive, book an official or pre-booked space in advance, but travelling by train is by far the easier option.
Book train tickets
Advance singles and returns to the ground on Trainline, usually cheaper the earlier you book.
BookCheck train times
Live times, platforms and any disruption on the day through National Rail.
