Crystal Palace Under-21s will welcome Blackburn Rovers to Sutton’s Borough Sports Ground on Saturday, with kick-off scheduled for 12:00 BST. The Young Eagles are targeting a fifth consecutive unbeaten match as they continue their 2026/27 campaign.
Palace head into the fixture after a 2-1 comeback victory over Swindon Town in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday. They fell behind after Antwoine Hackford took advantage of an error, but Caleb Kporha restored parity in first-half stoppage time.
Seb Williams then completed the turnaround 10 minutes into the second half, producing an excellent finish from 25 yards after Palace worked a short corner. The result extended the Under-21s’ positive run and gave them momentum ahead of their return to Premier League 2.
The competition is the top level of football for Category One academies. Saturday’s meeting with Blackburn will be streamed live on Palace TV+, with coverage starting at 11:45 BST. The service is available through annual, monthly and weekly passes, while Gold, Junior Gold and International Members, along with Season Ticket+ holders, have access to Palace TV+.
Supporters can also follow live updates through the club’s Academy X page, with a match report and reaction due after full-time. Highlights and extended reaction will be available on Palace TV+, while the official Crystal Palace app will provide goal alerts and key match notifications.
