Crystal Palace Under-18s will visit arch-rivals Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, 31st October, with kick-off scheduled for 11:00 GMT. Javier Alonso’s side will be aiming to make it four consecutive victories in all competitions.
Palace have hit a strong run of form since the international break, winning each of their last three matches. Brighton have also responded well to an inconsistent beginning to the 2026/27 campaign, recording convincing victories against Aston Villa, Ipswich Town, Southampton and Norwich City.
The Seagulls finished fourth in last season’s U18 Premier League South, collecting a club-record 49 points. Saturday’s meeting therefore presents Palace with a challenging away fixture as they look to continue their recent progress.
The match will be shown live on Palace TV+, with coverage starting at 10:45 GMT before the 11:00 GMT kick-off. The service offers selected live Academy fixtures, first-team friendlies and live first-team commentary throughout the season.
Gold, Junior Gold and International Members, along with Season Ticket+ holders, have access to Palace TV+. Other supporters can choose from an annual pass costing £37.99, a monthly pass priced at £5.49 or a weekly pass costing £3.99. Passes renew automatically unless cancelled.

Highlights and extended reaction will be made available on Palace TV+, and the official Crystal Palace F.C. app will provide goal alerts and key match notifications.
