Bromley have endured a difficult start to pre-season, suffering heavy defeats to Carshalton and West Bromwich Albion in their opening two friendlies.
Following their defeats, Andy Woodman's side has another testing fixture against Premier League side Palace.
With the new season fast approaching, they face a busy competitive schedule, which begins with an EFL Cup tie against Reading before their League One opener against Barnsley.
Their recent form has been questionable, and another loss will further drain their confidence in preparation for the League One season.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have played just one pre-season friendly under new manager Pierre Sage.
Sage was appointed after the departure of Oliver Glasner following the conclusion of the 2025/2026 season.
Following his appointment, the early signs have been encouraging after Palace opened their pre-season programme with a convincing 5-1 victory over Swindon Town.
With the Premier League season edging closer, the Eagles will hope to build on their recent victory when they face Bromley.
Sage will be keen to continue building confidence and fitness as his side prepares for the visit to Everton at Goodison Park on the opening weekend.
