Fulham begin a new era under Álvaro Arbeloa

Fulham finished 11th last season and then said goodbye to Marco Silva. Álvaro Arbeloa has taken charge, the club has matched its transfer record to sign Gonzalo García, and the campaign begins at home to Chelsea under the Monday night lights.

Team news

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.

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.

Recent seasons

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 record books

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.

Honours

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.

4 Second-tier league titles Second Division 1948–49 and 1998–99, First Division 2000–01, EFL Championship 2021–22.
2 Championship play-off wins Promoted to the Premier League through the final in 2018 and 2020.
1 UEFA Intertoto Cup Won in 2002, the club's first European trophy.
Finals reached, but not won
2010 UEFA Europa League runners-up Lost the final 2–1 to Atlético Madrid after extra time.
1975 FA Cup runners-up The club's only FA Cup final to date, lost 2–0 to West Ham.
0 Top-flight league titles Fulham have never been champions of England.

Fan channels

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.

Home games

Matchday at Craven Cottage

Everything for a home game: getting a ticket, the ground itself, getting there and parking, and where to eat and drink around it. For away days, the travel planner is further down.

Tickets

Getting a ticket at Craven Cottage

Home games at Craven Cottage are among the most in-demand in the Premier League, in one of the smaller top-flight grounds, so many seats go to season-ticket holders and members before any general release. Availability and prices vary from game to game and change through the season, and we do not sell tickets or list prices here. Always buy through the club or an official channel, and be wary of unofficial resale.

General sale

Match tickets

For any tickets that reach general sale, availability is limited and often sells quickly once members have had their window. The official tickets page is where to see what is on sale, join a waiting list and read the current terms.

Official tickets page
Membership

Fulham membership

A club membership is the usual way in for supporters without a season ticket, giving access to ticket sales and priority in the queue ahead of any general release. The official ticketing pages set out the current membership options and what each one includes.

Membership and tickets
Hospitality

Matchday hospitality

The redeveloped Riverside Stand brought premium lounges and restaurants overlooking the Thames, sold directly by the club as matchday hospitality. Prices and what is included vary by fixture and lounge, so the official site is the place to see current options.

Hospitality at Craven Cottage
Official resale

Ticket exchange

The club's official ticketing is also the only safe place to resell or pick up a spare seat, letting season-ticket holders release games they cannot attend to other supporters. It is the resale route the club endorses, and you reach it through the official tickets pages rather than any third-party site.

Official ticketing
Getting there

Getting to the ground and parking

Craven Cottage sits by the Thames in Fulham and is best reached on public transport, which the club recommends on a matchday. Driving and parking are a different matter, as the residential streets around the ground are tightly restricted on match days.

By tube and rail

Nearest stations

Putney Bridge on the District line is the closest Underground station, around a fifteen minute walk through Bishops Park to the ground. Hammersmith, served by the District, Piccadilly, Circle and Hammersmith and City lines, is another option a longer walk away, and Putney mainline station is across the river by Putney Bridge. Arriving early and spreading across these stations helps after the final whistle.

Plan a journey with TfL
By car and parking

Driving and parking

Matchday parking around Craven Cottage is very limited and the surrounding streets fall under a controlled parking zone with event-day restrictions, so parking on the street near the ground is not realistic for most visitors. If you must drive, book an official or pre-booked space well in advance, but public transport is by far the easier option.
