Crystal Palace kicks off the 2026/27 Premier League season at home against Manchester City on Friday 28 August, and tickets are already on sale. The Eagles finished 13th in the 2025 table with 42 points, 11 wins, 9 draws and 11 losses, and will look to improve on a recent form of WDWLW.
How can fans secure tickets for the match?
Fans can buy tickets through the official club portal, authorized travel partners or the club’s membership lottery. Season ticket holders and debenture owners get priority, followed by official member draws, resale allocations and general sales. For last‑minute buyers, secondary platforms such as StubHub also list available seats.
What are the price ranges and categories?
Ticket prices vary by seat location, match category and age group. Visitor tickets are capped at £30, a limit that makes them scarce and usually reserved for top‑tier members with high loyalty points. Prices rise for premium sections and lower for youth or senior concessions, reflecting the stadium’s tiered pricing structure.
When and where does the game take place?
The Premier League fixture starts at 20:00 BST on 28 August at Selhurst Park, London. Both clubs will travel to the venue early for pre‑match preparations, and fans are advised to arrive early to avoid congestion and enjoy the pre‑match atmosphere.
What else should supporters know before heading to Selhurst Park?
Supporters should bring a valid ID and, if applicable, their membership number for the ticket draw. The club recommends using digital tickets to speed entry through the 100 % digital turnstiles. Additionally, fans can explore hospitality packages for a more comfortable experience, though these sell out quickly.
Crystal Palace’s recent FA Cup triumph at Wembley in May 2025 remains a highlight, and manager Pierre Sage will aim for a strong start under his first home spell. The match offers a chance to gauge the team’s progress before the next fixture away at Bournemouth on 20 February 2027.
