How to fill Palace's international break - News

With Brighton & Hove Albion v Crystal Palace postponed, supporters face an extended men's international break in the middle of September.

While Palace's first-team won't play for just under a month, there is plenty of football to fill your time – including a women's match at Selhurst, Under-18s live broadcast and an Under-21s match in SE25.

Plus, with international football from the middle of the month and a range of local non-league sides in action, you'll have your pick of what to enjoy.

Palace Women's match with Southampton on Sunday 18th is undoubtedly the biggest pull, with live football hosted at Selhurst despite the Premier League lull.

The team are excelling, too, winning their first two games, keeping two clean sheets and topping the Women's Championship table.

What's more, you can back their efforts with the whole family from just £10. Find out more and grab your tickets here!

Back Palace Women

There's also a big clash for Palace's in-form Under-18s on Saturday 17th, with the lads currently sitting in third place and hoping to kick-on with an 11am clash v Saints.

You can watch that game live via Palace TV+, which Gold, Junior Gold and International Members, and Season Ticket+ holders, enjoy as part of their package.

After that, the Under-21s host Chelsea at Selhurst in a 14:00 kick-off, trying to make it six games unbeaten as they sit second in the table.

Enjoy live U18s football

So, you can kick-off the weekend watching the U18s, head off to the Under-21s or for a local non-league match, and make it back for the Saturday evening Premier League game. Then, on Sunday, it's off to Selhurst to back the women.

The week after, England play twice in their final matches before the World Cup, and Palace have a number of players who could be in-line to feature. Elsewhere, we've already had several first-team players named for their countries, and Cormac Austin became the first confirmed Academy call-up.
