Buy Fulham vs Hull City tickets for the 2026/27 Season. The fixture is scheduled for Saturday 17 October 2026 with a 17:00 kick-off at Craven Cottage in west London. It is the first Premier League meeting between these clubs in more than twelve years, and only the fourth ever staged at this ground.

That gap is the point. The two sides have spent the last dozen seasons repeatedly missing each other by a single division, and Hull City are back in the top flight after a nine-year absence, promoted through the play-off final at Wembley in May 2026. Anyone looking at Fulham FC tickets for this one is buying into a fixture that a whole generation of supporters at both clubs has never seen in the Premier League.
It is also, on the evidence, one of the more obtainable dates on Fulham's home calendar. The club's average league gate last season was 27,228 and their largest crowd of the entire campaign was 27,736 against Arsenal, in a ground generally credited at 28,107. Craven Cottage does not routinely sell out, and a newly promoted opponent in mid-October is exactly the kind of fixture that reaches general sale.
Near the bottom, and that is useful information rather than a criticism. Fulham's high-demand home dates are the London derbies and the traditional powers: Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, the two Manchester clubs and the Boxing Day fixture. Those rarely reach general sale. Everything outside that set behaves differently, and a club returning from the Championship with no shared history and no rivalry sits at the far end of the scale.
The contrast is easy to see across the season. Fulham vs Chelsea on the opening weekend is a Monday night west London derby between clubs whose grounds sit under two miles apart, and it prices and clears accordingly. This one does not. If you have wanted to see a Premier League match at Craven Cottage without paying derby money, October is the month.
The visiting end is a different market entirely. Hull average around 21,400 at home and this is their first top-flight trip to London in nine years, which points to strong demand against an allocation in the region of 2,700 to 3,000 seats. Supporters looking at Hull City tickets should note that away allocations are distributed by the visiting club to its own supporters and are capped at 30 pounds under the Premier League agreement extended by unanimous vote in March 2026.
One quirk of this ground worth knowing. The Putney End contains a small unsegregated section where home and away supporters sit together, one of very few anywhere in English football. It is not the norm and it is not large, but it exists.
For a fixture like this, very probably yes. Fulham sell in three stages: season ticket holders first, then members ranked by loyalty points, then general sale to anyone with an account. Many matches reach that third stage, and the club's own attendance record shows the ground is not filling even for its highest-drawing visitors. There is no ballot for home Premier League tickets, and membership is not a gate on buying, only on buying early.
Membership costs 50 pounds for an adult and 30 pounds for a junior, buying priority access to all home league fixtures plus a merchandise discount. A higher tier at 65 pounds adds a retail voucher and a gift, though it sold out for 2026/27. There is no geographic restriction, so overseas supporters can join and purchases run through the club's own account system online or by phone. One ticket per account per fixture applies.
Fulham also run a ticket exchange where season ticket holders release seats they cannot use. Worth knowing before you rely on it: everything sold through the exchange goes at the adult rate regardless of who is buying, so there are no concession savings on that route. For a fixture with genuine general availability, the exchange is a supplement rather than the main road in.
Where a marketplace earns its place here is on choice rather than access. General sale gets you whatever is left in the allocation, which at a ground with a listed Edwardian stand and a brand new premium side is not a small distinction. Resale lets you pick the stand, the block and the number of seats together rather than accepting what the club's system offers you on the day you happen to buy.
Five things set the price. Which of the four very different stands you sit in, whether the seat is behind a roof pillar in the listed stand, the low demand grading that a newly promoted opponent carries, how close to matchday you buy and whether you want the Riverside Stand's hospitality rather than a seat. Published face values for 2026/27 put the Hammersmith and Putney ends at around 35 pounds for an adult, the Johnny Haynes Stand at 40 pounds and its central blocks at 50 pounds, with concessions roughly five pounds lower and juniors between 15 and 25 pounds. Resale for a fixture at this end of the demand scale tends to sit close to those numbers rather than far above them.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammersmith End and Putney End | £40 – £75 | Atmosphere and lower spend | Behind the goals. The Hammersmith End is where the vocal home support gathers. Note the pillars between blocks H4 and H5 |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, standard blocks | £45 – £85 | Anyone who wants the old ground | The Grade II listed 1905 stand, the oldest surviving in the Football League. Roof pillars obstruct some views, so read the block carefully |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, central blocks | £55 – £100 | Halfway line on the historic side | Blocks E and F carry a premium over the rest of the stand and the clearest sightlines within it |
| Riverside Stand | £75 – £160 | Comfort and modern facilities | The rebuilt west side, completed in 2025. Angled seating, the front row three and a half metres from the pitch, and the ground's best concourses |
| Hospitality packages | £200 – £500+ | Business guests and occasions | Dining and lounge access across the Riverside's premium floors. The club quotes on enquiry rather than publishing rates |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Context on Fulham's pricing is worth having. The club's most expensive season ticket for 2026/27 runs to 3,084 pounds, the highest in the division and some way clear of second place, though the lowest-priced in the same ground is 636 pounds. The supporters' trust publicly objected to this season's 3.5 per cent rise, arguing that matchday income is under a tenth of club revenue and that the increase fell on the three older stands where facilities have not changed. All of which makes a low-demand fixture the sensible way to see this ground. Put it beside Fulham vs Arsenal in December and the difference in every bracket is substantial.
No ground in the Premier League offers four stands this different from one another. The Riverside is brand new, the Johnny Haynes Stand is 120 years old and listed, and the two ends sit somewhere in between. That makes stand choice matter here more than at almost any other stadium, and the Craven Cottage seating plan is worth opening before you commit to a listing.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riverside Stand | Comfort, facilities and clear views | Highest | The rebuilt west side facing the Thames, around 8,000 seats. Steeply angled, unobstructed and the only part of the ground with modern concourses |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, blocks E and F | Halfway line with the period feel | Mid to high | The central blocks of the listed stand. The strongest position within it, though the roof structure still shapes what you see from some rows |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, outer blocks | Supporters who want the history | Mid | Blocks A to K on Stevenage Road, home fans only. Genuinely atmospheric and genuinely pillared, so confirm the block before buying |
| Hammersmith End | Supporters who want the noise | Lower to mid | The north end at 7,300 seats and the heart of the vocal support. Two roof columns affect seats above blocks H4 and H5 |
| Putney End, home blocks | Value and families | Lower to mid | Blocks P1 to P4 at the south end. The calmer goal end, closest to the river walk and the Putney Bridge approach |
| Putney End, visiting section | Travelling Hull City supporters | Capped at £30 | Blocks P5 to P7, entered from Stevenage Road, with an allocation of roughly 2,700 to 3,000 seats |
The honest advice for a first visit is to weigh nostalgia against sightline. The Johnny Haynes Stand is the reason many people come to this ground, a survivor from 1905 with its gabled roof and the listed Cottage Pavilion beside it, but the pillars that hold that roof up are real and they are in front of people. If you want a guaranteed clean view of everything, take the Riverside. If you want to sit in the oldest stand in English league football and accept a compromise, that is a legitimate choice too. Other dates at the ground are listed under Craven Cottage tickets if you want to compare across the season.
The Riverside Stand transformed what hospitality means at this ground. Completed in May 2025 with the opening of its rooftop level, it carries 2,303 premium seats across terraces, balconies and glass-fronted lounges, with the front row three and a half metres from the touchline. It is a genuinely different proposition from the rest of the stadium.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Sky Deck | Groups wanting the full day | The top three floors with free movement between them, a rooftop terrace over the Thames, halfway-line seating, inclusive drinks and post-match entertainment |
| The Gourmet and The Brasserie | Occasion buyers and corporate hosts | First-floor fine dining and halfway-line a la carte, both with menus built by a Michelin-starred kitchen |
| The Dugout and Thames Bar Room | Supporters upgrading from a standard seat | A sports bar with pitchside viewing access, and an inclusive drinks lounge covering pre-match, half-time and after the final whistle |
| The Originals and Private Dining | Casual groups and small parties | Chef's buffet with informal seating at one end, and a hosted room for up to ten at the other |
The wider Fulham Pier development sits alongside the stand, with a 13-room hotel that opened in October 2025, a brasserie from a Michelin-starred chef, a market food hall and a members' club with a rooftop terrace. Those are separate ventures rather than matchday products, but they change what an afternoon at this ground can look like. Hospitality prices are quoted on enquiry rather than published, so the ranges in the pricing table above are a guide to the resale market rather than club rates.
Fulham issue tickets as a contactless mobile pass added to a phone wallet, tapped on a reader at the turnstile, with a print-at-home option as the alternative. Only one of the two is needed. The important detail for a resale purchase is that the name stored on the ticket is expected to match the photo identification you show, so carry a passport or driving licence.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Contactless pass to a phone wallet | That the seller can issue it to your device before matchday, plus the deadline they are working to |
| Print-at-home ticket | The name shown on the ticket and whether the seller has completed any transfer that the club requires |
| Ticket transferred within the club system | The timing, since transfers run from around 72 hours before kick-off until roughly five hours before |
| Collection near the ground | The meeting point and window. The ticket office and collections booth sit on Stevenage Road |
Turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick-off, so for a 17:00 start plan to be there from 15:30. The bag policy is one bag per person, nothing larger than A4 with a depth limit of around 10cm, and bags are inspected and tagged on entry. Prohibited items include alcohol, glass and cans, pyrotechnics and flares, large umbrellas, flag poles over a metre, laptops, tablets, professional cameras, musical instruments, prams and pushchairs. Under-14s must be accompanied by an adult. Charge your phone before you set off, since the club puts the responsibility for a working device squarely on the ticket holder.

Step1
Open the fixture listings
Confirm you are looking at the Saturday 17 October 2026 date at Craven Cottage rather than the return fixture at the MKM Stadium in May.
Step2
Set up your account
Browsing is open to everyone, but you will need to create an account to complete an order, hold seats and receive delivery updates as the fixture approaches.
Step3
Pick the stand before the price
This matters more here than anywhere. The four stands offer genuinely different experiences, and the difference between a listed Edwardian stand and a 2025 rebuild is not a matter of a few pounds.
Step4
Read the listing notes
Every listing states the block, how many seats are together and the delivery method. In the Johnny Haynes Stand and around blocks H4 and H5, the block number is what tells you whether a pillar is in the way.
Step5
Confirm quantity and seating together
Larger groups are far more achievable at this fixture than at Fulham's derby dates, but the Riverside fills first. Lock in a block of four or more early rather than late.
Step6
Review the total
Compare the full price including fees and delivery rather than the headline figure. At a fixture priced this close to face value, the all-in total is where the real difference between listings shows up.
Step7
Complete the purchase securely
Pay through the secure payment page and keep the confirmation email. It carries your order reference, the delivery method the seller has chosen and the timeline you should expect.
Step8
Follow your order to delivery
Use track order to follow progress from confirmation through to delivery and to see when your tickets are released for a fixture still weeks away.
Craven Cottage has the most enjoyable approach of any Premier League ground. From Putney Bridge on the District line it is a ten to fifteen minute walk through Bishop's Park along the Thames, a route supporters call the Green Mile, with the Johnny Haynes Stand appearing through the trees at the end of it. Hammersmith is twenty to twenty-five minutes away and is step-free, as is Fulham Broadway, while Parsons Green and Putney mainline both work as quieter alternatives. Buses 74, 220 and 424 run to Fulham Palace Road. Heathrow is roughly thirteen miles away, around half an hour by road, which makes this an easy ground to reach on the day you land.
Do not drive. There is no public parking at the ground, the surrounding streets are controlled on matchdays with a one-hour maximum stay in the few non-residential spaces, and every away guide published by visiting clubs says the same thing. On timing, treat the date as settled and the kick-off as provisional: Premier League times are confirmed by broadcast selection several weeks ahead and this fixture sits inside a selection window. Neither club has European commitments this season, both are in the Premier League, the FA Cup and the EFL Cup only, so there is no continental scheduling to complicate matters. That leaves television as the single variable.
There is no rivalry between these clubs and inventing one would be dishonest. They are 200 miles apart, Fulham's rivalries are all within a few miles of Craven Cottage, and the two have simply never been in the same division long enough to build anything. What they do have is a short, lopsided and quite dramatic Premier League history, compressed into three seasons and now reopened after twelve years.
Hull City hold the better record by a distance. Of six Premier League meetings they have won four, drawn one and lost one, with their 6-0 at the KC Stadium in December 2013 remains the heaviest result between the clubs in any competition. Fulham have beaten them once in the Premier League, a Monday night at Craven Cottage in October 2009. At this ground specifically the record is level at one win each and a draw, so the imbalance in the wider figures comes entirely from what happened in Hull.
That final result is why this fixture carries more weight for Fulham supporters than the table suggests. The 2-2 in April 2014 ended a thirteen-season Premier League run and began four years in the Championship. Hull have since had two more top-flight spells and two more relegations of their own. Both clubs know exactly what this division costs to stay in, which tends to make October fixtures between newly promoted sides and established mid-table ones considerably more tense than they look on paper.
Only three Premier League matches between these clubs have been played at Craven Cottage, too few to build a meaningful picture, so the figures below widen to all Premier League meetings between the sides across both grounds. Cup ties, Championship meetings and every match in the lower divisions sit outside this scope.

The KC Stadium is the ground now known as the MKM Stadium. Every result verified against two independent records.
Unlikely. Fulham's largest home crowd last season was 27,736 against Arsenal in a ground credited at 28,107, so even its highest-drawing visitors do not quite fill it. A newly promoted opponent in October sits at the softer end of the calendar.
Parts of the Johnny Haynes Stand, where the 1905 roof is held up by pillars along the front, and seats above blocks H4 and H5 in the Hammersmith End, where two support columns intrude. The Riverside Stand and the ends are otherwise clear.
From Putney Bridge it is ten to fifteen minutes through Bishop's Park beside the Thames, and it is the nicest approach to any ground in the division. For step-free access use Hammersmith or Fulham Broadway instead.
Carry photo identification. The name held against the ticket is expected to match what you show at the entrance, and visiting-club guides advise supporters to have it on them. Turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick-off.
86 wheelchair spaces for home supporters and 17 for visitors, each with a personal assistant seat, plus 106 easy access seats, audio descriptive commentary and a Changing Places facility opened in August 2026. Contact the club's disability access team to arrange a booking.
