The Fulham vs Crystal Palace clash will take place at the Cottagers’ training ground.
With just two weeks to go before the start of the English Premier League 2026/27 season, Fulham will take on Crystal Palace in a pre-season friendly fixture. The game will take place on Friday, August 7, at Fulham’s training ground, Motspur Park.
The Eagles finished fifth in the pre-season Como Cup tournament, where they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Lens before managing a penalty-shootout win over Famalicao. Pierre Sage’s men beat Saudi side Al-Ula 3-1 to finish fifth.
Crystal Palace are set to face Freiburg in their next friendly, and will look to get a win against their Premier League rivals in tonight’s game.
Fulham, meanwhile, have enjoyed a mixed pre-season campaign so far. The Cottagers started with a 2-0 loss to Norwich City, following it up with a 1-1 draw with Al-Ahli. Alvaro Arbeloa clinched his first win with a 2-1 victory over Portuguese second-division side Farense.
Both sides are set to face one another in the Premier League on the third matchday, and tonight’s friendly will allow both new head coaches to tinker with their lineups and tactics before the start of their league campaign.
