Sunday's clash against Charlton Women could prove crucial in the promotion race. Read below to see what Palace need in order to secure an immediate return to the topflight...
Last May, it was announced that Crystal Palace Women would be competing in the newly-named Women's Super League 2.
Along with a new name - the WSL2 has a new structure for this season.
In previous years, only the top team would earn promotion to the Women's Super League, this was how Palace earned WSL promotion in the 2023/24 season.
However, for this season only, up to three teams can go up - making this a totally unique campaign for Jo Potter's side.
The 2025/26 format is unique to this campaign, as from the 2026/27 season onwards - the second-place team will contest the playoff against the 13th-place WSL side.
This means the WSL will have 14 teams instead of 12 from the 2026/27 season.
Palace Women are currently in third-place with 32 points - the promotion playoff position.
Sunday's opponents Charlton currently sit in first-place, nine points ahead of Palace on 41 points.
Barring a significant goal difference swing, Palace won't be able to climb any higher in the table this weekend - with second-place Birmingham City on 35 points with a +11 goal difference.
Fourth-place Newcastle United and fifth-place Bristol City find themselves on 31 and 30 points respectively.
If Palace win all four of their remaining games, they will guarantee a promotion playoff spot as a minimum.
To finish second, Palace will need to win all four games and hope Birmingham City drops points in two of their final four games.
To catch Charlton, Palace will need to win all four games and hope Charlton lose two of their remaining three games.
Palace will host the Addicks at Selhurst Park this Sunday at 14:00 - click the button below to join them as they fight for promotion!
