Which venue hosted Chelsea’s 3–2 victory over Fulham in the 2026–27 opening weekend?

Craven Cottage hosted Chelsea’s 3–2 victory over Fulham during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The fixture was played on Monday 24 August 2026 and was the final match of the opening round. Fulham were the home team, so the match took place at their historic stadium beside the River Thames in London.

Chelsea won the west London derby by scoring three goals to Fulham’s two. The result gave Chelsea three points and ended the opening weekend’s schedule.

Craven Cottage is often confused with Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s home ground. Stamford Bridge is also in west London, but it belongs to Chelsea; Craven Cottage is Fulham’s stadium. The two venues are relatively close, which helps make the fixture a local derby.
