Fulham v Chelsea: where to watch Premier League 2026-27 opener

Chelsea will travel to Craven Cottage in London to face Fulham in the opening match of the English Premier League 2026-27 season. The game will start at 12:30 a.m. IST on Tuesday, August 25.

Neither of the last five fixtures between these clubs has ended in a draw. Fulham finished 11th last season, have a new manager and signings, and will be looking to make an impact in the English top division from the very first matchweek as they seek qualification for European competition. At home, Fulham FC must control the game from the start and keep the momentum in their hand.

It is going to be an ultimate test for Chelsea and Xabi Alonso. The Blues failed to qualify for the European competition last season and will be aiming for a UEFA Champions League spot this time around. Their last three matches in their recent pre-season run were quite a confidence booster for them. Being away from home will bring a significant challenge for them, but they are not going to back down easily.
