Which 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match ended with Fulham losing 3–2?

Fulham versus Chelsea ended with Fulham losing 3–2 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

The fixture was played at Craven Cottage on Monday, 24 August 2026. Chelsea’s narrow victory made it the final scheduled match of the opening round, which had begun four days earlier with Arsenal versus Coventry City.

The five-goal scoreline made the match more open than several other fixtures from the same round. Chelsea took the points, while Fulham began the campaign without a win despite scoring twice at home.

This result is easy to mix up with Newcastle United’s 2–2 draw against Liverpool, another Sunday fixture involving a major club. The Fulham–Chelsea match was distinct because it had a winner and was played on Monday.
