Season summary[]
Pre-season[]
Palace finished the previous season in 12th place and reached the semi-final of the FA Cup, the first under manager Patrick Vieira. Martin Kelly and Cheikhou Kouyaté left at the end of their contracts and player of the season, Conor Gallagher, returned to Chelsea at the end of his loan spell. Malcolm Ebiowei and Sam Johnstone joined after their contracts at Derby and West Bromwich Albion expired while Cheick Doucouré and Chris Richards were signed from Lens and Bayern Munich respectively.
The club went on a pre-season tour to Singapore and Australia to play other Premier League teams; they were defeated by Liverpool and Manchester United and drew against Leeds. Only half the squad were able to make the trip, so there were also games in England against teams from various divisions of the Football League. In these matches Palace won four and drew the other. The whole squad was able to play in a home game against Montpellier, which Palace won 4–2.
August[]
Crystal Palace opened the Premier League season with a game against Arsenal at Selhurst Park on Friday 5 August. The visitors started the strongest and took the lead with a goal in the 20th minute from a corner. Palace came back into the game, but squandered a couple of chances to equalise and a late own goal from Marc Guéhi consigned the team to a 2–0 defeat. On the same day, Christian Benteke was sold to D.C. United. Their first away game was a 1–1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield. The next game, at home to Aston Villa, saw the team's first win of the season, with Wilfried Zaha scoring a brace of goals in a 3–1 victory. Palace were drawn away against Oxford United in the second round of the Carabao Cup, winning the tie 0–2 with youth-teamers Killian Phillips and Kaden Rodney making their senior debuts.

Rules for classification: 1st points; 2nd goal difference; 3rd number of goals scored.
(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round; (Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament
Notes
- Since both finalists of the 2022–23 FA Cup, Manchester City and Manchester United, qualified for the Champions League as a result of their league positions, the second Europa League group stage berth allocated to England was transferred to the sixth-placed team.
- Since the winners of the 2022–23 EFL Cup, Manchester United, qualified for the Champions League, the Europa Conference League berth awarded to the EFL Cup winners was transferred to the highest-placed Premier League team not already qualified for European competition, the seventh-placed team.
