How to follow Crystal Palace in Europe

Crystal Palace are currently in the midst of their first season in Europe since the 1998 Intertoto Cup.

The Eagles have already fared better than they did in 1998, when they failed to score a single goal in their one and only tie against Samsunspor.

Oliver Glasner's men successfully navigated a qualifier to make it through to the league phase of the Europa Conference League, and they won their first match in the league phase against Dynamo Kyiv away from home.

That result has only sparked more interest from fans for the rest of the campaign. If you are planning on following the club in Europe this season, here is everything you need to know.

Crystal Palace European away matches

The draw for the Europa Conference League league phase has been completed, and Crystal Palace now know their opponents. Their three away games during the league phase are as follows:

• 02/10/25: Dynamo Kyiv vs Crystal Palace (0-2)
• 27/11/25: RC Strasbourg vs Crystal Palace
• 11/12/25: Shelbourne FC vs Crystal Palace

How to get Crystal Palace Euro away tickets

Crystal Palace are new to the European scene, but their sales process is somewhat similar to most other English clubs in that they prioritise tickets for fans who have displayed the most loyalty in recent years, with respect to attending matches. Their sales process for the away match against Freriskstad was as follows:

• Phase 1: Season ticket holders and members with 11,000 loyalty points or more.
• Phase 2: Season ticket holders and members with 10,000 loyalty points or more.
• Phase 3: Season ticket holders and members with 8,000 loyalty points or more.
• Phase 4: Season ticket holders and members with 6,000 loyalty points or more.
• Phase 5: Season ticket holders and members with 4,000 loyalty points or more.
• Phase 6: Season ticket holders and members with 2,000 loyalty points or more.
• Phase 7: All remaining season ticket holders and members.

As you can see, only season ticket holders and official members will be able to purchase Crystal Palace European away tickets this season. While this could change if the club are drawn to play a team with a huge stadium, for now, the club are sticking with this policy.

It isn't too late to buy a Crystal Palace membership for the season. However, you will start with zero loyalty points, so you will have to hope that matches drop down to phase seven like they did for the qualifier against Fredrikstad.

As time goes on, the club may begin to put more emphasis on fans who have attended the most European away matches, but nothing has been confirmed at this stage.

Day trips

In terms of travel to and from European matches, Crystal Palace have announced that they are putting on a chartered plane for all successful ticket holders for the match against Strasbourg at the end of November. This plane will fly into Strasbourg from London on the morning of the fixture and then straight back immediately after the match finishes.

These types of day trips could be offered for future European matches if the club feels there is enough demand for them. For reference, the chartered flight for the Strasbourg match has already sold out.
