Crystal Palace F.C. have secured a place in next season’s UEFA Europa League after defeating Rayo Vallecano to win the UEFA Conference League final in Leipzig.
The victory makes Palace the third English club to lift the Conference League trophy after West Ham United F.C. in 2023 and Chelsea F.C. in 2025.
Oliver Glasner’s side have now ensured that the Premier League will have a joint-record nine clubs competing in European competitions during the 2026/27 season.
By winning the Conference League, Palace automatically qualify for the league phase of the UEFA Europa League despite finishing 15th in the Premier League table.
