Crystal Palace will have their appeal against expulsion from the Europa League heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on August 8, 2025, with a verdict expected on August 11[1][3][5]. UEFA previously removed Palace from the Europa League due to allegations of breaching multi-club ownership regulations. The club’s place was given to Nottingham Forest, pending the CAS ruling.
The hearing will be held behind closed doors at CAS headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland[3]. Anxious Palace fans will have to wait through the weekend for the outcome, which could determine if Palace revert to the Europa League or remain relegated to the Conference League[1][5].
On the transfer front, Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck reportedly accepted a move to Crystal Palace, with only the fee left to be agreed between the clubs[7].
The 2025/26 Premier League season is set to begin, with Palace scheduled to play their first match on August 15[4][2]. No matches have yet been played, and all teams including Palace currently have zero points[4][6].
