Chelsea won the Monday match between Fulham and Chelsea on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Chelsea defeated Fulham 3–2 on Monday 24 August 2026. The result was the final match of the opening round, following nine fixtures played from Friday through Sunday.
The match was staged at Craven Cottage, Fulham’s riverside home in west London. Chelsea therefore won away from home, despite being the visiting side in a local west London fixture. Craven Cottage is situated beside the River Thames and is one of English football’s best-known traditional grounds.
The 3–2 scoreline made the Fulham–Chelsea game the highest-scoring match of the opening weekend, with five goals. That total exceeded the four goals in Brighton’s 4–0 win and the three goals scored in several other fixtures.
