Crystal Palace will head to Austria this summer for a training camp – including two pre-season fixtures – as a key part of preparations for the 2025/26 season.
The Eagles will travel to Oliver Glasner’s homeland later this month for a week-long preparation camp in the Austrian Alps.
Training in Windischgarsten, Palace will also take part in two training matches against Bundesliga opposition, with games against both FSV Mainz 05 and FC Augsburg and all fixtures LIVE on Palace TV+.
Tickets are now on sale for the games against FC Augsburg. Prices range between €10-€20. You can purchase tickets here, via SK Bad Wimsbach. Please note there will be no designated ends for supporters.
For the double-header with FSV Mainz 05 all tickets will exclusively be sold on the day of the game, at the stadium.
Ticket prices will be set at €15 for adults and €12 for concessions, while children (under-15) have free admission.
First up for Glasner’s squad is a meeting with FSV Mainz 05 at the Hans-Ludwig-Stadion, home of SV Wals-Grünau, just outside of Salzburg on Tuesday, 29th July.
Two hour-long practice games will take place, each 30 minutes per half, kicking-off at 13:00 BST (14:00 local time) and 14:20 BST (15:20 local time) respectively.
After two further days of training at the Dilly Das Nationalpark Resort, Palace will return to action on Friday, 1st August.
The Eagles will then face FC Augsburg at the Hofmaninger Stadium, home of SK Bad Wimsbach 1933. Two separate practice matches will again take place, with the first kicking-off at 15:00 BST (16:00 local time) and the second at 17:00 BST (18:00 local time). Both matches will be 90 minutes in length.
Tickets for both fixtures will be available and full details on how to purchase will follow.
To keep up with the action, Palace TV+ annual passes are now available, while a special pre-season bundle will be available from Monday, 7th July for £17.99 giving access to all our broadcasted fixtures ahead of the new season.
Supporters can also take in the pre-season preparations with two open training sessions at the Dilly Das Nationalpark Resort, on both Monday, 28th July and Thursday, 31st July.
Both sessions will begin at 11am local time. Entry details for these sessions will be confirmed in due course.
Palace’s last game on Austrian soil came during 2014/15 pre-season, when running out 13-1 winners over Grazer AK. Coincidentally that summer also saw our only previously meeting with FC Augsburg, a 0-0 draw at their Augsburg Arena.
