The U18 Premier League South is the top level of U18 football for Category 1 clubs and it is regionalised into north and southern sections. Palace will play 24 games against 12 different sides, home and away.
Last season, Rob Quinn’s side recorded a sixth place finish in the league, but had standout campaigns in the cup tournaments: making the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup and the semi-final of the U18 Premier League Cup.
The young Eagles will begin their campaign with a trip to North London to take on Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, 17th August (KO: 11:00 BST) - a game Palace won 5-2 last season thanks to one of Zach Marsh’s six hat-tricks and goals from Tyler Whyte and Seb Williams.
Their first home game of the campaign is the following weekend on Saturday, 24th August (KO: 12:00 BST), as they welcome Southampton to Copers Cope. This was Palace’s opening fixture last season, which they won 5-0 with a Zach Marsh hat-trick and goals from Jesse Derry and David Obou.
On the final day of the campaign, Saturday, 3rd May, the young Eagles will face rivals Brighton & Hove Albion at Copers Cope, while the away fixture is pencilled in for Saturday, 30th November.
Much like last season, a large portion of these games will be streamed LIVE on Palace TV+. Further details of the fixtures selected for broadcast will be confirmed in due course. Click HERE for more information.
