Chelsea won Fulham versus Chelsea, the final match of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Chelsea defeated Fulham 3–2 at Craven Cottage on Monday, 24 August 2026. The match concluded the opening Match Round after fixtures had been staged from Friday through Sunday.
Because Chelsea won by one goal, the club collected three points with a plus-one goal difference. Fulham scored twice but finished the round without a point, joining the opening-weekend losers despite playing at home.
Craven Cottage is Fulham’s stadium, located beside the River Thames in London. The match was a west London derby, since Chelsea and Fulham are both London clubs. It was the only Premier League fixture played on Monday in that opening round.
