Women

24 Nov 2025

After their 3-0 dismantling of Leicester City on Sunday, Crystal Palace Women are now in the quarter-final of the Women's League Cup. Read below to find out more about the draw and who the Eagles could potentially face...

Jo Potter's side defied the odds on Sunday, beating Women's Super League side Leicester City 3-0 away from home, to top Group D on goal difference and progress to the quarter-finals.

This marks only the second time that Palace Women have got to this stage of the competition before, with the Eagles reaching the quarter-finals during the 2020-21 season where they were knocked out by a last-minute Leicester City goal.

Palace are the only team from the second-tier left in the competition, with the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United now entering the cup for the first time this season.

Where can I watch the draw?

The draw will be broadcast live on the Barclays Women’s Super League TikTok account on Tuesday, 25th November from 18:00 GMT, and will be hosted by TikTok star, podcast host and I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here alumni GK Barry and her partner, Portsmouth striker Ella Rutherford.

Who can Palace face?

The five group winners – Manchester City, Liverpool, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Palace - will join Arsenal, Manchester United and current holders Chelsea in the final eight, with the trio entering at this stage due to their involvement in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

The quarter final ball numbers are as follows:

1. West Ham United

2. Chelsea

3. Manchester City

4. Crystal Palace

5. Tottenham Hotspur

6. Liverpool

7. Arsenal

8. Manchester United

When will Palace play?

The quarter-finals will be one tie, and should the game end in a draw, there will be 30 minutes of extra-time and then penalties to decide the winner. These fixtures will be played across the 20th and 21st December 2025.

What's next?

The semi-final draw will also be conducted on Tuesday, with each quarter-final tie appointed a number that will represent the winner of that respective fixture.

Winner of Tie 1
Winner of Tie 2
Winner of Tie 3
Winner of Tie 4

The balls will then be drawn, and the possible fixtures for the final four of the competition will be confirmed – first ball out, the home team, and second, the away team.

The semi-final games will follow the same format as the quarter-finals (if required, 30 minutes of extra time and penalties), and will be played over 21st and 22nd January 2026.

The final will be contested across the weekend of the 14th and 15th March 2026 – with details including the date, kick-off time and venue to be confirmed in due course.
