Crystal Palace faces ongoing home form issues at Selhurst Park during the 2026 season. Manager Pierre Sage has lost his first two Premier League matches at the venue, despite a recent League Cup victory against Middlesbrough. The club has earned only 11 points in home league matches this year, a record only surpassed by Tottenham Hotspur among ever-present sides. Further complicating the atmosphere, the Holmesdale Fanatics fan group has suspended all activity at the stadium, citing a lack of prioritization for genuine supporters. The team returns to Selhurst Park on Thursday for a Europa League fixture against Lech Poznan. A home match against Nottingham Forest follows the upcoming international break.

"In Oliver Glasner's final season in charge of Crystal Palace, his side won just 21 of their 45 points in the Premier League at their beloved Selhurst Park. Tottenham Hotspur are the only ever-present Premier League side to have earned less. If Pierre Sage decides to issue a similar plea to the Palace supporters, it may prove difficult given that the Holmesdale Fanatics - a fan group who are key to the atmosphere at Selhurst Park - have decided to stop all activity in the ground in recent weeks, saying "genuine" fans are no longer prioritised by clubs.
