Fulham will begin the 2026-27 Premier League season with a blockbuster west London derby against Chelsea at Craven Cottage on Monday, August 24, live on Sky Sports. The fixture list, released on June 19, 2026, also features a festive double-header at home against Brighton on Boxing Day and Arsenal on December 30.
The club enters the campaign in transition following the departure of head coach Marco Silva to Benfica, after Fulham narrowly missed European qualification by a single point. The search for a successor is ongoing, with reports indicating that talks have been held with Alvaro Arbeloa, who managed Real Madrid for the latter part of the 2025-26 season after Xabi Alonso was dismissed.
Among the standout fixtures, Fulham will host Brentford in mid-December before traveling to the Brentford Community Stadium in late April. The season concludes away at Manchester United on May 30, 2027, while the final home match is against Coventry City on May 23.
The schedule also includes matches against all three promoted sides: Ipswich Town, Hull City, and Coventry City. Key cup dates include the FA Cup third round on January 9-10 and the Carabao Cup final on March 21. The summer transfer window runs from June 15 to September 1, with a winter window from January 1 to February 1.
Fulham fans can look forward to an action-packed campaign, with the team aiming to improve on last season’s near-miss for European football.
