The story behind the answer

Chelsea’s 3–2 win over Fulham was played on Monday in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match took place on Monday, 24 August 2026, at Craven Cottage. It was the last of the ten opening-round fixtures, extending the opening weekend across four calendar days from Friday through Monday.

Chelsea won the west London match by a 3–2 scoreline. Fulham scored twice at home, but Chelsea’s three goals secured the visitors’ first three points of the campaign.

The schedule began with Arsenal versus Coventry City on Friday, followed by five matches on Saturday, three on Sunday and the Fulham–Chelsea fixture on Monday. This makes Monday the unique answer for the day of the final opening-weekend match.
