The arrests were among 1,932 reported across England and Wales during the season – an 11 per cent decrease compared to the previous year.
The season, which ran from July 2024 to May 2025, saw incidents recorded at 1,583 matches, an 18 per cent increase in reported incidents year-on-year.
Crystal Palace fans were arrested for a range of offences, with the most common being public disorder and possession of Class A drugs.
The full list of offences linked to Palace supporters includes:
- One for violent disorder
- Five for public disorder
- One for entering the pitch
- Two for alcohol offences
- Two for possession of pyrotechnics
- One for breach of a banning order
- Seven for possession of Class A drugs
The Home Office said the most common arrest types nationally were public disorder (32 per cent), violent disorder (22 per cent), and possession of Class A drugs (19 per cent).
The offence category involving Class A drugs was made a Schedule 1 offence in November 2022, and arrests linked to this offence type have more than doubled since the 2022 to 2023 season.
Alcohol-related offences continue to decline, now making up just 8 per cent of all football-related arrests – a notable drop from 34 per cent during the 2010 to 2011 season.
Meanwhile, pitch incursions have also fallen to their lowest levels in years, accounting for just 3 per cent of arrests this season.
In total, 1,803 of the 1,932 football-related arrests during the season involved fans from clubs in the top six tiers of English football.
Crystal Palace, who compete in the Premier League, saw fewer arrests than some top-flight rivals but remain part of wider concerns around fan behaviour and safety.
The Home Office and football authorities continue to work closely with clubs and police forces to tackle anti-social behaviour and ensure matches remain safe for all supporters.
