Chelsea won 3–2 away at Fulham on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played at Craven Cottage on Monday, 24 August 2026, bringing the first matchweek to a close. Chelsea scored three times, while Fulham answered twice in a competitive London fixture.
Chelsea’s victory was one of four away wins in the opening round. Leeds United, Manchester City, and Chelsea were the other visiting sides to take three points, while Newcastle and Liverpool drew in the only level match.
The result is separate from Brentford’s 3–0 win over Tottenham and Manchester City’s 2–1 victory against Bournemouth. Those matches also involved clubs from London or southern England but had different scores and opponents.
