Javier Alonso’s history-making young Eagles begin with a trip to the Beacon Ground to face Hassocks on Tuesday, 21st July (19:45 BST), before concluding July with a visit to Isthmian Premier Division side Cray Wanderers on Saturday, 25th July (12:00 BST).
Hassocks have enjoyed unprecedented success under manager James Westlake in recent years, earning promotion to the Isthmian League South East Division after securing the Southern Combination League title and League Cup double in 2024/25.
Although the Robins were relegated last season after a spirited fight against the drop, they remain a well-organised and competitive senior outfit who will provide an excellent test for Palace.
The challenge steps up once again in the second outing as Palace make the short trip across south-east London to Flamingo Park to face Cray Wanderers, who compete at Step Three of the English football pyramid.
This fixture has been brought forward to a 12:00 BST kick-off to allow supporters the opportunity to also attend Palace’s first-team match against League One side Bromley later that afternoon, just a short trip across South London, with kick-off at Hayes Lane set for 15:00 BST.
The Wands enjoyed an impressive 2025/26 campaign, finishing seventh in the Isthmian Premier Division and remaining firmly in the play-off picture until the closing stages of the season, ensuring another stern examination for Alonso’s youngsters.
