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.

The 2026/27 season

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.

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.

Injuries, suspensions and the confirmed eleven

It is pre-season, the 2026/27 campaign has not kicked off, and there is no honest team news to report yet. Confirmed lineups and any fitness or suspension calls land about an hour before kickoff, and this is where they will appear once they do.

Honours

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.

1 FA Cup Won in 2024/25, the first major trophy in the club's history, beating Manchester City 1-0 in the final.
1 UEFA Conference League Won in 2025/26 with a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano in the final, the club's first European trophy.
1 FA Community Shield Won in 2025 after a 2-2 draw with Liverpool, settled on penalties.
1 Full Members' Cup Won in 1991, then known as the Zenith Data Systems Cup, beating Everton 4-1 at Wembley.
2 Second-tier titles Champions of English football's second division in 1978/79 and again in 1993/94.
1 Third Division title Champions in 1920/21, the club's first ever season in the Football League.

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.
