Channel 5 Sign Deal To Broadcast Fredrikstad vs Crystal Palace Europa League Conference Play-Off
Eagles fans have been on a rollercoaster of highs and lows over the last three months.
From winning the FA Cup and Community Shield – but then getting demoted from the Europa League to the Europa Conference League, after UEFA found them to have breached the well-publicised multi-club rules.
Anyway, with Palace’s European fate now settled – their journey started on Thursday 21st August with a clash against Norwegian team Fredrikstad at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles won this game 1-0 thanks to a goal from Jean Philippe Mateta in the 54th minute (see below).
Now Palace must travel to Norway on Thursday 28th August for the second-leg against Fredrikstad, with the game kicking-off earlier at 5pm.
Good news – like the first-leg, Palace fans can also watch the second Fredrikstad game LIVE on Channel 5.
The ‘free-to-air’ channel has signed a late deal to show the European action – as this game ISN’T part of the wider TNT UEFA package.
Meaning the broadcast rights were available for a reported low-cost six-figure sum.
Since the first-leg, Crystal Palace have drawn 1-1 in the league with Nottingham Forest.
While Fredrikstad’s away game against Braan was postponed – so the Norwegian side haven’t played since.
Palace Hot Favourites To Beat Fredrikstad and Qualify For Europa Conference League
Ahead of the second-leg the football betting sites are making Palace the red-hot 4/9 favourites to win the game.
While the Eagles are an even shorten 1/20 to qualify and book their place in the Europa Conference League for 2025/26.
Mateta, who scored the only goal in the first-leg, can also be backed at 4/1 to score first or 11/10 anytime.
Where Do Fredrikstad Play?
Norwegian team Fredrikstad play their home games at the Fredrikstad Stadion, which is about 1 hour 20 minutes south of Oslo.
The arena has a capacity of approximately 12,500 and was built in 2007 – Elton John played a concert that year on 22nd June.
Their pitch is also a 3G astro pitch – which could make things interesting for Crystal Palace.
