The scheme was originally in place during the second half of the 2024/25 season and was then expanded for the 2025/26 campaign across 20 clubs, 29 venues, and 190 fixtures.
Following shareholder approval, the decision has been made to permanently remove the ruling in the League Competition Regulations that previously prohibited the consumption of alcohol in view of the pitch.
We can now officially confirm that drinking in view of the pitch has been approved for Crystal Palace Women's home fixtures at the VBS Community Stadium, for the entirety of the upcoming 2026/27 season.
Fixtures hosted at Selhurst Park are subject to approval.
While fans will be permitted to enjoy an alcoholic beverage from the stands at the VBS - we remain fully committed to providing an inclusive and family-friendly environment.
As part of this commitment, a designated alcohol-free section will be available for every applicable home matchday.
