The 2025–26 season is the 120th season in the history of Crystal Palace Football Club, and their thirteenth consecutive season in the Premier League. In addition to the domestic league, the club is also participating in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, the UEFA Conference League, and the FA Community Shield, with the latter two being the club's debut appearance in the respective tournaments.

This is the first season since 2011–12 not to feature former club captain Joel Ward, who departed Palace after thirteen years following the expiration of his contract. He was the last remaining player from the side of 2012–13 that achieved promotion to the Premier League from the EFL Championship, and left Nathaniel Clyne as the last remaining player to have represented the club in the second division.

Season summary

Palace began their season on 10 August 2025 against Liverpool at Wembley in the FA Community Shield. After a 2–2 draw, Palace won in a penalty shoot-out with goalkeeper Dean Henderson making two saves.[1] Palace would beat Liverpool again the following month, with a 2–1 win in the league.[2]

On 21 August, Jean-Philippe Mateta netted Palace's first goal in European competitions, securing a 1–0 win over Fredrikstad in the UEFA Conference League play-off round.[3]

UEFA Conference League

Crystal Palace, as winners of the 2024–25 FA Cup, were initially meant to qualify for the league phase of the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League, however they were rejected the right to play in the competition due to multi-club ownership with fellow league phase qualifiers Lyon.[61] Lyon's status in the competition was maintained due to having a higher league position than Palace at the end of the season. Despite an unsuccessful appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Palace were ultimately demoted to play in the play-off round of the 2025–26 UEFA Conference League instead.[62][63]
