Crystal Palace Academy have confirmed three amendments to Darren Powell’s Under-21s schedule for the 2026/27 Premier League 2 campaign.
The first change affects the Young Eagles’ visit to Leeds United on Sunday, 18 October. The match will now begin at 12:00 BST, 30 minutes earlier than the previously listed 12:30 kick-off.
Palace’s away meeting with Manchester United has also been moved. Rather than being played on Monday, 30 November at 19:00 GMT, the fixture will take place on Sunday, 29 November, with a 14:00 GMT start.
The trip to Brighton & Hove Albion has been brought forward as well. The fixture is now scheduled for Friday, 5 February 2027, kicking off at 19:00 GMT instead of Sunday, 7 February.
The change to the Brighton date allows Palace’s Under-21s to host FC Porto in their final Premier League International Cup group-stage fixture on Wednesday, 10 February, with that match set to start at 19:00 GMT.
Premier League 2 consists of a 20-match regular season for the development teams of Category One academies. The top 16 sides advance to the end-of-season knockout play-offs, which decide the competition’s overall champions. Palace said any further fixture updates will be shared through the club’s official channels.
