Crystal Palace has been drawn to face either Norwegian side Fredrikstad or Danish team Midtjylland in the Europa Conference League play-off round, as they are appealing their demotion from the Europa League. UEFA demoted Palace due to violations of multi-club ownership rules, which were related to John Textor’s concurrent ownership stake in both Palace and French club Lyon. Palace failed to meet UEFA's deadline for restructuring ownership by 1 March 2025. An appeal has been made to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, with a hearing scheduled for 8 August, and a decision anticipated by 11 August.
