All the information you need: Fixture release day

...But soon excitement will be building towards the new campaign, with the first major landmark on the road to 2026/27 fast approaching.

From tomorrow (Friday, 19th June), Crystal Palace's Premier League schedule for the new season will be known.

The time to mark in your diary is 10:00 BST, so make sure you've downloaded the official Crystal Palace App for free now, and be notified the second our fixtures drop.

What are the key dates to look out for?

The Premier League season will commence on the weekend of Saturday 22/Sunday 23 August. However, as has been the case in recent years, there is a possibility one fixture is moved to the Friday night (21) for television broadcast in the UK.

This is later than has been the case in recent years. The date has been selected to allow players recovery time following the 2026 FIFA World Cup Finals.

The season will conclude in May, as normal, but finishing a week later than last season.

Sunday, 30 May 2027 will be the final day of the 2026/27 season. All ten games will kick-off simultaneously as is tradition.

In terms of other key dates to look out for next season, the FA Cup Final will take place on Saturday, 22 May 2027.

Palace will enter at the Third Round, with ties played over the weekend of Saturday, 9th January 2027.

And of course, there's the small matter of another European journey as the Eagles enter the UEFA Europa League.

Should we go all the way, the 2026/27 Europa League Final will take place at Waldstadion in Frankfurt, Germany on Wednesday, 26th May 2027.

Palace will learn our league phase opponents when the draw is made on Friday, 28th August. For more information on European matchdays in 2026/27 head here.

Crystal Palace Women will be back in the top-flight for 2026/27 after winning promotion last term.

And the key dates to remember for that one are Friday 4 September to Sunday 6 September, the weekend of the first matchday. Further information will follow on WSL fixture release day.
