Chelsea beat Fulham 3–2 on the final day of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played at Craven Cottage on Monday 24 August 2026. It was the tenth and final fixture of the opening round, following nine matches held from Friday through Sunday.
Chelsea’s away victory was one of the weekend’s most competitive results. The five-goal game was decided by a single goal, giving Chelsea three points while Fulham began the season without a point.
Craven Cottage is Fulham’s home ground beside the River Thames. Because the fixture was scheduled for Monday evening, it extended the opening weekend beyond the usual Saturday-and-Sunday football programme.
