The next one at a glance

Kick-off, the venue and where to watch it in the UK, for the very next fixture.

Who is available

Current injuries and suspensions from the live team-news feed. It fills in as the season gets going, and it is always worth a final check with the club before kick-off.

Conditions at the ground

The current forecast at the stadium, so you know what to expect on the day. It refreshes on its own.

Where to watch Fulham v Chelsea

The opening match has a confirmed home. It is the Monday Night Football pick, so in the United Kingdom it is live on Sky Sports rather than the 3pm Saturday slate. International listings vary by territory, so check the official club channels for the broadcaster in your country.

For confirmed international broadcasters and any late scheduling changes, the club keeps the definitive list on its official site. Check fulhamfc.com.

The latest news and reaction

Fresh headlines and fan reaction from BBC Sport, the Guardian and the club's own subreddit, newest at the top. Every item opens on its source.

Nothing to report yet, and that is the honest answer

It is pre-season, the 2026/27 campaign has not kicked off, and there is no real team news to share. Confirmed lineups and any fitness or suspension calls land about an hour before kickoff, and this is where they will appear once they do. The widget below scrolls on its own and pauses when you hover.

Where to get confirmed team news

When the team sheet drops, it comes from here first. These are the accounts that confirm it rather than guess at it.

The season in numbers

Every chart here comes from the same feed behind our live scores: goals by minute, home and away, the shapes they set up in, the full squad’s numbers and the head-to-head record. This season fills in live from the opening weekend; last season is settled.

How the warm-ups are going

The friendly results so far, before the league gets going. It steps aside for the live table and stats the moment the season kicks off on 21 August.

This season · 2026/27

The 2026/27 Premier League has not kicked off yet, so every figure here is still zero. Álvaro Arbeloa's first league game in charge is at home to Chelsea on Monday 24 August, and these counters only start moving from that opening whistle at Craven Cottage. The live table, the form guide and the per-player numbers all fill in from there.

The last eight completed seasons

Here is where Fulham have finished in each of the last eight completed league campaigns, with the division alongside so the promotions and relegations read clearly. Two of these seasons were spent in the Championship, in 2019/20 and 2021/22, and the club came up on both occasions.

The all-time record book

These are Fulham records that sit firmly on the books. The club has never won the top-flight title, so the story is one of long-serving favourites, a famous scoreline and a packed Craven Cottage rather than league championships. Transfer fees are only ever reported rather than officially confirmed, so we have kept that one general.

Where the full numbers live

We keep this page to facts that are easy to stand behind. For the complete and current stats, the full appearance and goal tallies and the deeper match data, these are the places we would send you.

The trophy cabinet

Fulham have never won the top-flight title, so the cabinet is built on promotions and one European trophy rather than league championships. These are the honours that are well established.

Fan channels and watchalongs

Fulham's fan-media scene is smaller than the very biggest clubs, and it is really built around one well-established independent outlet, Fulhamish, alongside the club's own channel. The first card below is the official Fulham channel, and the rest are run by supporters, so their opinions are their own rather than the club's. If you are after a particular style of watchalong or reaction, a YouTube search is the best way to find one, since new channels come and go through the season.

Channels worth following
