- Crystal Palace 2026-27 UEFA Europa League fixtures
- When the Eagles find out their trips around Europe
- Dates of each game (TBA)
Crystal Palace will continue competing in Europe next season after winning the UEFA Conference League. The Eagles beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in the final to qualify for the Europa League.
Oliver Glasner’s final act as Palace manager was to guide the South Londoners to European glory. He also granted them a place in a competition they should have been in that very season.
A new manager will be at the helm, and there’s every chance that a clash with Glasner will take place. The Austrian is heavily linked with Serie A giants AC Milan, who are also competing in the European tournament.
So when can fans find out Palace’s Europa League football fixtures?
When Crystal Palace UEFA Europa League fixtures are announced
If Palace win the Europa League, they will qualify for the UEFA Champions League. No team has ever won the Conference League and the Europa League in consecutive seasons.
That’s just one of many reasons the Eagles are eager to flex their muscles in the second tier of European football. Winning the Conference League means they skip the play-offs and enter the competition’s league phase.
Palace, Sunderland, and Bournemouth will enter the competition at that stage, and their fans will be desperate to learn their European opponents. The announcement will be made on August 28, after the play-off rounds conclude.
The South Londoners will likely be drawn from pot 2 or 3 due to the club’s UEFA coefficient ranking. Once the draw concludes, the eight matchdays run from September 16 to January 28.
Important dates
If the Conference League winners finish in a play-off place, they will be included in the knockout play-off draw, which takes place on January 29. Those knockouts take place on February 18 and February 25, and the winner advances to the Round of 16 with that stage’s draw on January 29.
The Round of 16 first and second legs take place on March 11 and March 18, while the quarter-finals are on April 8 and April 15, and the semi-finals on April 29 and May 6. Should Palace make it all the way to the final at Waldstadion in Frankfurt, that match will occur on May 26.
