Crystal Palace's new manager Pierre Sage will take charge of his first Premier League match at Everton as the Eagles have been handed a challenging start to the 2026/27 campaign.
The Frenchman was officially appointed by Palace on Monday and he will oversee a trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday August 22, while the south Londoners will then host Manchester City in their opening home game on Saturday August 29 before a trip to Fulham on Saturday September 5.
Palace, who will play in the Europa League after winning the Conference League, will resume their rivalry with Brighton with a visit to the Amex on Saturday October 17, but must wait until Saturday May 15 before the Seagulls arrive at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles head to Sunderland as the festive schedule starts on Saturday December 19, while they host champions Arsenal on Boxing Day and then Bournemouth on Wednesday December 30 before starting 2027 with a trip to Brentford on Saturday January 2.
In the closing weeks of the campaign, Palace head to Nottingham Forest on Saturday May 8 before hosting Brighton and will follow that derby match with a visit to Newcastle United on Sunday May 23.
Their final-day clash comes against Leeds United at home on Sunday May 30.
