Fulham v Chelsea was played at Craven Cottage on the final day of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Craven Cottage is Fulham’s home ground beside the River Thames in London. It hosted the Monday-night meeting on 24 August 2026, when Chelsea won 3–2.
The stadium is distinct from Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s home ground. That distinction matters in this fixture because the match was a Fulham home game, even though both clubs are based in west London.
Craven Cottage is one of English football’s historic grounds. Fulham have used the site for more than a century, and the stadium is particularly associated with its riverside location and the preserved pavilion known as the Cottage.
