About Fulham
Fulham were founded in 1879 as a church side in west London and are the capital's oldest professional football club. Craven Cottage, their home beside the Thames since 1896, keeps Archibald Leitch's 1905 Johnny Haynes Stand, the oldest in the professional game, alongside a rebuilt Riverside Stand that took capacity to 29,600.
The honours list is modest, three second-tier titles and a run to the 2010 Europa League final under Roy Hodgson, but the club has rarely been steadier. Shahid Khan has owned Fulham since 2013, and Marco Silva's five seasons brought promotion and a club-record 54-point Premier League campaign in 2025/26 before he left for Benfica. Álvaro Arbeloa arrived from Real Madrid on a three-year deal.

Recent form
Eleventh in 2025/26 on a club Premier League record 54 points, a mark sealed with a 3–2 win at Brentford, then a summer of change: Marco Silva left for Benfica after five seasons and Álvaro Arbeloa, who left Real Madrid in May, took over on a three-year deal. Kevin and Smith Rowe carry the creative load. The opener is Chelsea at the Cottage.
