Crystal Palace will continue their preparations for the 2026-27 campaign with a pre-season friendly against Bromley on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles will begin their new Premier League season against Everton on August 22, while Bromley's 2026-27 campaign starts in the EFL Cup against Reading on August 8.
What happened?
Bromley have taken to the field twice this summer for pre-season matches, losing their opener 4-0 to Carshalton on July 4, before suffering a 4-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion on July 17. The Ravens will take on Palace, Millwall, Queens Park Rangers, Barnet and Liverpool Under-21s in their next five friendlies before beginning their 2026-27 campaign in the EFL Cup.
Why it matters for Crystal Palace
As for Palace, it has been a quiet summer thus far in terms of incomings and outgoings, with their only signing to this point proving to be Oscar Mingueza on a free transfer from Celta Vigo. The Eagles started life under new head coach Pierre Sage with a 5-1 victory over Swindon Town in their opening pre-season game of the summer on July 18.
What comes next?
Palace will now face Bromley, Lens, Famalicao and Freiburg in their final four friendlies before beginning their 2026-27 Premier League campaign against Everton on August 22. The Eagles finished 15th in the Premier League last season, but they have made an exciting managerial appointment, with Sage arriving at Selhurst Park off the back of an excellent season at Lens, which saw him win 27 of his 40 matches in charge.
