      Palace TV+ is a subscription service which gives supporters access to live broadcasts of selected pre-season friendlies and selected Academy matches, and live audio commentary of competitive first-team matches.

      Supporters can currently purchase an Annual pass (£32.99) for unlimited access for a year (which auto-renews), or a pre-season bundle for access to all pre-season games live and on-demand (the full 90 minutes) until 14 August (this pass is a one-off payment of £19.99 that does not auto-renew).

      Looking for more benefits? If you wish to get access to match tickets (and tons of other benefits), a Membership may be more appropriate for you. 24/25 Membership packages are due to go on sale later this week, so please check back soon.

      Please also note that 24/25 Season Ticket+ holders automatically gain access to Palace TV+ as part of their package.

      Below you can find answers to any questions about Palace TV+ you may have.

      I am a 24/25 Season Ticket+ holder but can't access a live broadcast.

      If you experience an issue accessing a live broadcast, please ensure that you are logged in with the account associated to your Season Ticket+ when attempting to access the stream.

      If you cannot access a stream, please email the Crystal Palace box office: boxoffice@cpfc.co.uk

      We encourage supporters who have an active 24/25 Season Ticket+ to check their account is working correctly ahead of a broadcast going live.

      To do so, simply login to the website and click here to play a test video – if you can watch it, your subscription is correctly set up. If you are blocked from watching it, please contact boxoffice@cpfc.co.uk.

      I have a Gold/Junior Gold/International Membership or am a Palace TV+ subscriber, but I can't access live broadcasts. What do I do?

      Firstly, please ensure that you are logged in with the account associated to your Membership/Season Ticket+.

      Secondly, the broadcast only becomes visible around 30-45 minutes before kick-off, so you may not be able to gain access until closer to kick-off time.

      Thirdly, if you still cannot access the stream - the most likely issue is with your ticket/membership account being linked incorrectly.

      What is Palace TV+?

      Palace TV+ is a subscription service which gives supporters access to live broadcasts of selected pre-season friendlies and selected Academy matches, and live audio commentary of competitive first-team matches.

      There are a range of packages available to suit you. During pre-season, we offer an Annual pass which auto-renews; and a pre-season bundle, which gives access to highlights and full replays of selected pre-season fixtures, and does not auto-renew.

      You can also purchase a Gold Membership / Junior Gold Membership / International Membership and Season Ticket+ - all of which include a Palace TV+ subscription and access to the broadcasts.

      If I buy Palace TV+, do I get to watch all CPFC’s Premier League matches?

      No. We do not have those rights. However, you can listen to audio commentary of all the club’s Premier League matches through a Palace TV+ subscription.

      Palace TV+ will show: selected pre-season friendlies and selected Academy matches, the manager’s pre-match weekly press conference, and live audio commentary of competitive first-team matches, 90 minute match replays of Premier League games, as well as documentaries such as When Eagles Dare.

      What are the different passes available?

      There are several different ways to become a Palace TV+ subscriber. During the regular season, you can buy an Annual, Monthly or Weekly Pass; during pre-season, we offer different products.

      Annual pass (recurring) - £32.99

      You will be charged on a recurring basis, however you can cancel at any time. With an Annual pass, you will be able to watch live broadcasts of selected pre-season and Academy matches, as well as listen to live audio commentary of first-team games for a year from when you purchase.

      Pre-season bundle (one-off payment) - £19.99

      Access to all pre-season games live and on-demand (the full 90 minutes) until Wednesday 14 August 2024. This payment does not auto-renew.

      Alternatively, supporters can also gain Palace TV+ access by purchasing a 24/25 Membership, which are also due to go on sale shortly.

      How much does it cost?

      We are continuing to invest in our live match broadcasts to ensure we maintain the highest production standards for you.

      The Annual subscription stands at £32.99.

      Your subscription will automatically renew at the above price on your renewal date. If you wish to cancel, please do so at least 48 hours before your renewal date, via your phone’s App Store / Google Play (if you purchased your subscription via the CPFC app on iOS / Android respectively) or via the ‘Palace TV+ - Manage your Account’ box on the right side of your account page (if you purchased via the club’s website).

      Will my pass automatically renew?

      Yes, Annual passes will all automatically renew at the end of your subscription period, and be charged to the payment method you used. You can cancel at any time either through your account or your app store.

      The Pre-Season Pass is a one-off payment that does not auto-renew.

      How do I buy a pass?

      Firstly, you will need to create a Palace Account (free of charge) to be able to purchase a pass. You can do so here - or you can do so on the official Palace app.

      You can then purchase Palace TV+ on the Palace website or on the Palace app.

      On the app, navigate to Memberships by clicking on ‘more’ and then ‘Memberships’ - here you will be able to purchase a Palace TV+ pass. Alternatively, if there is a live broadcast currently 'on', there is a 'record/live' icon in the top right hand corner of the home screen - click that to access the payment screen.

      Alternatively, supporters can also gain Palace TV+ access by purchasing a 24/25 Membership, which are also due to go on sale shortly.

      Does my Annual pass cover just the current season or a year from when I purchased?

      An Annual pass will last for 12 months from when you purchase. It will auto-renew unless cancelled.

      How do I cancel my subscription?

      Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time.

      If you purchased your pass through your app store (on Apple or Android devices), you must cancel on the relevant app store. CPFC cannot cancel your subscription for you in this scenario.

      If you purchased through the cpfc.co.uk website, you can cancel from within your account page (click the Palace TV+ box on the right hand side of your profile page).

      How can I claim a refund?

      If you purchased your subscription via the website, please email palacetvsupport@streamamg.com detailing your specific issue in the first instance. Please note refunds will not be given for any issues reported after the match in question has been played.

      If you purchase via the app, you must request a refund through the App Store / Play Store.

      If you purchased via a CPFC Membership, please contact memberships@cpfc.co.uk

      If I subscribed to Palace Audio or Palace Player, will my previous subscription automatically continue?

      No, your previous subscription will be closed and you will need to start a new Palace TV+ subscription.

      What happens if no games are played during the week or month of my subscription?

      There will be weeks in the season where no fixtures are played - we would advise cancelling Weekly subscriptions for these weeks. Refunds will not be given for weeks when no matches are played.

      I am already a Gold / Junior Eagles Gold / International Member, how do I access Palace TV+?

      Please note that 23/24 Membership benefits have expired; 24/25 Memberships will go on sale shortly.

      If you are a Gold, Junior Eagles Gold or International Member, you will automatically be able to watch selected live pre-season and Academy broadcasts. Simply visit cpfc.co.uk/palace-tv and follow the prompts, or click the 'Watch Live' banner at the top of the app homepage; this will only be available when a live broadcast is in progress. You will need to be logged into your account to be granted access.

      I’m logged into my Palace Account, why do I not have access to live broadcasts?

      To watch or listen to live broadcasts, you will need to have one of the following entitlements on your account:

      • Gold Membership
      • Junior Eagles Gold Membership
      • International Membership
      • Palace TV+ Pre-season bundle (pre-season only)
      • Palace TV+ Weekly pass
      • Palace TV+ Monthly pass
      • Palace TV+ Annual pass
      • Season Ticket+

      Please allow up to 15 minutes after purchase for you to gain access to a broadcast. If you still can’t access a broadcast, it could be possible that you are logged in with the wrong email address. If you are a Palace TV+ subscriber (rather than a CPFC Member) logged into the correct account and can’t access a broadcast, please email palacetvsupport@streamamg.com.

      Live broadcasts of pre-season and Academy matches will usually start 30 minutes before kick-off, whilst audio commentary of first-team matches will usually start five minutes before kick-off.

      My device has stopped working during a broadcast. What do I do?

      Try restarting your device and reloading the Palace app. If your device still isn’t working, if possible, login to your Palace account in the Palace app on someone else’s device.

      If you are on web, please try closing and reopening your browser.

      How do I watch live broadcasts?

      Once you are subscribed or a relevant Member or Season Ticket+ holder, you can watch live broadcasts on Palace TV+ either through the app or on the Palace website. But you must ensure you are logged in with the account your subscription is registered to.

      When a live broadcast is in progress, you will see a pulsating circle in the top right hand corner of the home screen on the app - click on this to watch or listen to the broadcast.

      On the Palace website, navigate to Palace TV and click on the live broadcast you want to watch in the live broadcast section.

      When do live broadcasts become available?

      Live broadcasts typically start 30 minutes before kick-off. Live commentary of first-team games will usually begin five minutes before kick-off. We have recently switched to a new technical provider - so we encourage supporters to attempt to access the stream an hour or so before kick-off.

      How do I listen to live commentary?

      Live audio commentary of matches can be found in the broadcast section of Palace TV, and on the app – simply click the live pulsating icon in the top right hand corner of your app.

      I've forgotten my Palace Account username / password, what do I do?

      If you've forgotten your Palace Account username and / or password then please click on the relevant Forgot Password link on the login screen.

      Can I watch video in full screen?

      Full screen can be selected within the player on most browsers and on our iOS and Android apps.

      There is a known issue when clicking on the full-screen button on the player whilst using the Safari browser. Work is underway to resolve this, but we would recommend using Google’s Chrome browser should you experience the issue on the Safari browser.

      Can I use my phone to do other things whilst listening to live commentary?

      Yes, if you are listening to live commentary through Palace TV+ on the Palace app, you can continue to use your phone and the audio commentary will continue playing.

      I haven’t received a confirmation email after purchasing. What should I do?

      If you haven’t received a confirmation email, it may be in your spam, junk or promotions folder. If you still haven’t been sent one, please check your Palace Account profile for confirmation of your purchase - it should show in the account summary at the top of the page.
