The Young Eagles participate in U18 Premier League South, the top level of U18 football for Category One clubs in the country, which is regionalised into northern and southern sections.
Palace will play 30 league matches against 15 sides in the division, home and away. AFC Bournemouth and Brentford have both gained Category One status ahead of the new season, bringing the total number of clubs in U18 Premier League South to 16, while Leicester City will now compete in U18 Premier League North.
Javier Alonso's side head into the new campaign looking to build on a history-making 25/26 season.
Alongside a fifth-place finish in U18 Premier League South, the Young Eagles lifted the U18 Premier League Cup for the first time in the club's history and reached the FA Youth Cup semi-finals for the first time in almost 30 years.
They will now look to defend their U18 Premier League Cup crown, while competing for honours in U18 Premier League South and the prestigious Youth Cup. Should Palace win the southern section, they will face the winners of the northern section to determine the national champions.
Palace's first game of the new campaign sees them begin with a London derby away to West Ham United on Saturday, 15th August (KO: 11:00 BST), before hosting Southampton in their first home fixture a week later on Saturday, 22nd August (11:00 BST).
The full 2026/27 fixture list is detailed below.
