The game has not been selected for broadcast, given it was originally scheduled for 3pm BST on Saturday 31st August, 2024 – which comes during the blackout imposed English football.

Chelsea’s participation in the Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday night then pushed Palace game back to Sunday, but it still cannot be shown live.
