How to watch: Palace Women v Newcastle United
Palace Women will make their return to the VBS Community Stadium this weekend to take on Newcastle United in the Barclays Women's Super League 2 - here is how you can watch the game!
Palace Women's campaign has been filled with drama so far, with eight goals scored in the last league game at Sutton.
Following a victory away against Nottingham Forest, Palace then travelled to Durham where a late goal from the hosts threatened to condemn the Eagles to defeat.
Elise Hughes had other ideas however, and the Wales international scored in the 96th minute to secure a point on the road.
A win on Sunday could move the Eagles up to third place in the WSL2, should other results go our way.

The Opposition
Manager Becky Langley has been instrumental in Newcastle United Women's rise since 2019. She guided the Magpies to back-to-back promotions, securing the FA Women's National League Division One North in 2022/23 and the Northern Premier Division title in 2023/24.
They dominated the WSL2 headlines this summer, with Lioness and WSL appearance record holder Jordan Nobbs signing for the Magpies.
Two former Eagles now turn out for the Magpies, with both Jorja Fox and Lia Cataldo now playing their football in the North East. Injury prevented her from making an appearance in red and blue, but Fox joined Palace on loan from Chelsea in August 2024, ahead of the club’s first season in the WSL. Cataldo signed for Palace in July 2023 from Bristol City and made eight appearances, before joining Newcastle in January 2024.
