Millwall are Palace's nearest team being based five miles (8 km) north of Selhurst Park at The New Den. The rivalry was fierce from the beginning and is usually an intense culture clash between suburban South East London (Palace) and inner-city South East London (Millwall).

Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion are over 40 miles apart and their rivalry did not develop until Palace's relegation to the Third Division in 1974. The clubs had two of the division's biggest followings, communications between Croydon and Brighton were good and many fans were keen to travel to an away fixture. The rival reached a climax when the two teams were drawn together in the First Round of the FA Cup in 1976. The first game took place on November 20 at the Goldstone Ground, and Rachid Harkouk came off the bench to score a stunning equaliser and take the match to a replay after a 2-2 draw. Back at Selhurst Park the replay ended up 1-1, with Rachid Harkouk scoring the goal. This meant a second replay being held at Stamford Bridge. The second and final replay ended 1-0 to Palace, with Phil Holder grabbing the only goal but only after a disputed Brian Horton penalty miss. Horton had scored with his first attempt, but the referee ordered the kick to be retaken. Brighton supporters and Brighton manager Alan Mullery were understandably outraged, with Palace fans not surprisingly jubilant. Alan Mullery disparaged Palace fans, an act that would never be forgotten by fans of that time, and made his appointment as manager a few years later all the more surprising. The rivalry has been on the wane for some years as the sides have rarely met at First Team level and for some supporters the rivalries with Millwall and Charlton are now of greater significance.

Many news sources would bill a game between Charlton Athletic and Palace as a clash between two rivals, however Palace fans would refuse to accept this. The "supposed" rivalry came about after Charlton relegated the side back to the Championship in the 2004-05 Season and club chairman Simon Jordan referred to the supporters of Charlton as "morons"^[1], due to their behavior after Jonathan Fortune headed the two sides level, finishing the game 2-2, with a point not enough for Palace.
