- Crystal Palace have been demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League by UEFA due to multi-club ownership rules.
- The decision, announced on 11 July, stems from co-owner John Textor's significant stake in both Crystal Palace and French club Lyon.
- UEFA regulations prohibit individuals from having control over more than one club participating in the same European competition, with Lyon given precedence.
- Nottingham Forest are expected to take Crystal Palace's place in the Europa League, having finished seventh in the Premier League last season.
- Crystal Palace are likely to appeal UEFA's decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, meaning the final Europa League spot remains unconfirmed.
