Crystal Palace have discovered their league phase opposition in 2025-26 UEFA Conference League.
Palace qualified for the competition due to their demotion from Europa League due to a breach of multi-ownership rules, and overcame Fredrikstad in their play-off tie through Jean-Philippe Mateta’s first-leg winner.
Oliver Glasner’s Eagles now will face three home and away ties across the league phase, with their toughest opponent being AZ Alkmaar at home, whilst they will also host Finland’s KuPs and and Cyprus’ AEK Larnaca at home.
Palace will head to Dynamo Kiev and Strasbourg – whose owners also co-own Chelsea in their two likely defining ties, whilst they will also enjoy a trip to Ireland to face Shelbourne in Drumcondra, Dublin,
Matches will be played between 24 September 2025 – 18 December, with the top eight advancing automatically to the round of 16, whilst those placed ninth to 24th will enter the knockout play-offs across 19 and 26 February.
