The Premier League fixtures have been revealed as Oliver Glasner is set to enter his second full season in charge of Crystal Palace.The Eagles will be looking to build on the successes of the 2024/25 season in 2025/26 as they won their first ever major trophy and broke their record Premier League points tally.
Potentially playing in the Europa League, subject to the UEFA verdict, means that Oliver Glasner’s side will have at least a guaranteed 49 games next season including the eight league phase games, Community Shield and third round of the FA Cup and EFL Cup.
After last season’s finish in 12th Glasner will be hoping to push on. They open the season playing at 14:00 on the first ‘Super Sunday’ of the season against Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge.

Previously in the 2021/22 season Palace’s opening game was also away at Chelsea in what was Patrick Vieira’s first game in the job where his side fell to a 3-0 defeat.
Crystal Palace will face their rivals Brighton at Selhurst Park on game week 11 on Saturday 8th November 2025.
They will then travel south to the Amex for the reverse fixture on game week 25 on Saturday 7th February 2026.
It will be the second season in which Oliver Glasner will face Fabian Hürzeler in the so called ‘M23 derby’ and in the first season the Eagles completed the league double over the Seagulls. They won 3-1 in December away from home and had a historic victory in April winning 2-1 with just 9 men on the field.
The season will start for Palace a week early as they face Premier League champions Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on the 9thor 10th August in the Community Shield for another chance of a trophy.
