No Palace fan will forget that momentous day at Wembley in May when they upset the odds to beat Manchester City and win the FA Cup. And because of that stunning victory over Pep Guardiola’s side, European football will be coming to Selhurst Park. It will be a whole new continental adventure for Palace, and they will be eager to give it a good go. It will be quite the occasion when the Eagles compete in Europe under the lights - and whether it is in the Conference League or the Europa League, Glasner and his sides will be out to win it. It has been a quiet summer transfer window for Palace so far, with the only major addition being the arrival of left-back Borna Sosa from Ajax and keeper Walter Benitez from PSV Eindhoven. But the fact Palace have been quiet during the close season is good news for fans, as it means so far none of their key players have been lured away by Premier League rivals. There has been plenty of interest - and understandably so - for a host of Glasner’s squad over the summer. But with Dean Henderson, Marc Guehi, Adam Wharton, Eberechi Eze, Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta all looking like starting the new Premier League campaign at Selhurst Park, then the Eagles boss has a crucial core spine to work with. It all means there is a lot to look forward to this coming season. With that in mind, we have produced our Crystal Palace 2025/26 Kick-Off special - our brilliant guide to the new season. Our reporter Dan Newbould will waltz you through what to expect from the Eagles this coming season, turn the spotlight on Glasner, run the rule over his key men on the pitch and take a look at the club’s transfer business. Our club-by-club guide will give you the lowdown on Palace’s Premier League rivals, while you will also be able to test your knowledge with our Premier League quiz. We will also take a look at the summer’s biggest signings in the division, check out each ground and study the managers - new and old. With a full fixture list, Crystal Palace 2025/26 Kick-Off will get you in perfect match shape in time for the start of the Premier League.
