Buy Fulham vs Manchester City tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Premier League meeting at Craven Cottage scheduled for Saturday 6 February 2027 at 16:00 UK time. City arrive as one of the division's heavyweights after finishing second in 2025/26, and the last visit to the banks of the Thames produced a nine-goal thriller. That combination makes this one of the most sought-after afternoons on Fulham's home calendar.

Craven Cottage holds around 29,600 people, one of the smaller capacities in the Premier League, and a City visit fills every corner of it. Anyone planning a trip should start with the Fulham fixture list and act early, because the combination of a small ground, a big-name opponent and a Saturday slot leaves very little on general sale.
The Premier League confirms broadcast selections a few weeks ahead of each round, so the date and time can still move within that weekend. Build some flexibility into travel and read on for where to sit, what to pay and how to get in.
Manchester City bring the kind of pull that changes a matchday. They have won the title six times in the last nine seasons and finished runners-up in 2025/26, and their squad remains among the most watched in world football. For many neutral and overseas buyers, a City away game in London is the easiest way to see them live, and Craven Cottage is one of the most distinctive London settings they visit.
The ground itself is part of the attraction. Opened in 1896, Craven Cottage sits beside the Thames with the listed Johnny Haynes Stand on Stevenage Road and the famous Cottage pavilion in the corner. The new Riverside Stand, which won a Stadium Design Summit award for hospitality in 2025, has added a modern premium layer to one of the most traditional venues in English football.
Then there is the recent history. City's 5-4 win here in December 2025 was one of the games of the season, with Fulham scoring twice late to turn a 5-2 deficit into a finale nobody wanted to end. Home fans will want another shot at City, and neutrals will want a seat in case it happens again.
City's own support adds pressure on supply. Their allocation of around 2,700 is sold to City members and season ticket holders and routinely fills, and a sizeable London-based City following that cannot get into the away end looks for seats elsewhere. Add weekend visitors to the capital, and demand for home-area seats rises well beyond Fulham's own fan base.
Hospitality sells first. The Riverside packages start at well over £100 per person and the premium rooms are limited, so single-match inventory for a fixture like this goes early. If a hospitality seat is the priority, secure it before anything else.
Through the club, it is difficult. Fulham sells single-match tickets through a OneFulham account, and members get both priority access and a discount on every seat, with larger savings in the Riverside Stand. For high-demand fixtures, sales are usually restricted to members and season ticket holders, and there may be no general sale at all for a City visit.
Season tickets are also scarce. When Fulham reopened new season ticket sales ahead of 2025/26, those on the waiting list were given priority, and the bulk of the home seats are committed before a single-match sale begins. That leaves a small pool for members and very little for anyone else.
Pricing at the top end tells its own story. Fulham's season ticket in the Riverside Stand has been reported at around £3,000, the highest in the Premier League, and single-match face values for top-category fixtures in that stand start from about £70 before any resale premium. For a City visit, those seats rarely reach the open market through the club at all.
The club runs a ticket exchange for members who cannot attend, but availability is unpredictable and restricted to account holders. For non-members and overseas buyers, a verified resale marketplace is the practical route. On 1BoxOffice you can compare listings by stand, see the price before committing and buy without a membership, a purchase history or a UK address.
Visiting supporters are a separate matter. The Manchester City allocation, around 2,700 seats in the Putney End, is sold through City to their own members and season ticket holders, so it is not a route in for home or neutral buyers.
One warning. Tickets offered on social media or outside the ground carry no protection, and a digital ticket that has already been transferred or cancelled will not get you through the turnstile. Buying through a platform that verifies sellers is what separates a matchday from a wasted trip.
Five factors drive resale prices at Craven Cottage this season. Seat location comes first: the Riverside and central Johnny Haynes seats cost the most, the ends the least. Demand is the second, and a City visit sits at the top of Fulham's price categories.
Timing matters, with prices often firming once the broadcast slot is confirmed. The competition context of the 2026/27 Premier League, with City chasing the title, adds weight to every point they drop, and hospitality tier sets the ceiling. Face values for top-category games already run well into the tens of pounds, so resale for this fixture starts high.
For reference, Fulham's published 2026/27 prices for top-category A+ matches run up to £85 in the older stands and £70 to £80 in the Riverside Stand, with members saving £5 to £10 per ticket. City's visit falls in that top band, and because so few seats reach general sale, resale prices reflect scarcity rather than face value. Expect the gap between face value and resale to be wider here than for most Fulham home games.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammersmith End and Putney End home seats | £110 – £180 | First-time visitors and fans after atmosphere | Behind the goals; the Hammersmith End is the home end |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, wide | £130 – £210 | Fans who want a side-on view of the whole pitch | The historic main stand; some pillars and low roof lines in places |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, central | £160 – £260+ | Buyers who want to be close to the action | Central seats near the halfway line in the listed stand |
| Riverside Stand general seating | £200 – £350+ | Couples and small groups after modern comfort | The newest stand, with clear sightlines and the Thames behind you |
| Hospitality and VIP | £300 – £900+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Riverside packages from matchday lounges to fine dining; range depends on the package |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Craven Cottage is a four-sided ground with a character all its own. The Johnny Haynes Stand runs along Stevenage Road, the Riverside Stand faces it along the Thames, the Hammersmith End houses the home support and the Putney End sits at the other end. For block-by-block detail, the Craven Cottage seating plan covers every stand.
The Putney End is shared: the visiting supporters take the riverside side, with home fans in the rest. The ground once had a neutral section there, but Fulham reverted it to home-only seating after away fans used it to extend their end. For every fixture at the ground this season, the Craven Cottage tickets listings show what is available.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riverside Stand | Buyers who want the premium view | Premium | Five levels with the Thames at your back; home to most hospitality |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, central | Traditionalists who want the classic view | Mid to high | The listed main stand on Stevenage Road; historic but with some restricted-view seats |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, wide | A side-on view at a lower price | Mid-range | Nearer the corners and the Cottage pavilion; read listing notes for pillars |
| Hammersmith End | Committed home fans | Mid-range | The home end and the loudest part of the ground |
| Putney End home sections | Better-value seats behind the goal | Mid-range | Next to the away section; wear neutral colours and expect a lively end |
| Away section, Putney End (riverside side) | Manchester City supporters only | Allocation only | Away fans enter through turnstiles 1 to 17 on Stevenage Road; sold through City |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans are best placed in the Johnny Haynes Stand or the Riverside Stand, away from the Putney End. If you support City but could not get an away ticket, avoid the Hammersmith End and keep club colours out of sight in home areas.
A note on the old stand. The Johnny Haynes Stand dates from 1905 and keeps its period character, including some pillars and a low roof that can clip the view from the back rows. Read listing notes closely if an unobstructed view matters, or choose the Riverside Stand for modern sightlines.
The Riverside Stand is reached by a dedicated walkway along the river side of the ground, so allow a few extra minutes if your seat is there. Legroom and facilities are far more generous than in the older stands, which is part of why its seats sit at the top of the price range.
Fulham's hospitality is centred on the Riverside Stand and is one of the most ambitious offers in English football. The club's matchday packages include Matchday Plus with central seats and semi-inclusive food, The Dugout with seats behind the bench, The Originals with a river-facing balcony, the Sky Deck with rooftop lounges and bars, The Water's Edge with open-kitchen dining, and Constance on Matchdays, a fine-dining experience curated by chef Adam Byatt. Published starting prices run from £118.80 to £418.80 per person before demand for a specific fixture is factored in.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Matchday Plus | Couples and small groups after comfort | Smooth entry, central seats and semi-inclusive food and drink |
| The Dugout | Fans who want to be close to the bench | Seats directly behind the dugouts with inclusive food and drink |
| The Originals and Sky Deck | Groups looking for a social day | River-facing balcony or rooftop lounges with inclusive dining and bars |
| The Water's Edge and Constance | Business hosts and special occasions | Premium halfway-line seats with dining-led hospitality |
Inclusions vary by package, from food service to pitchside access on selected matchdays. Read each listing carefully so you know exactly what is covered before you commit.
At the very top sits The Cottage, a private space behind the famous balcony in the corner pavilion. It is reserved for just six guests, who arrive through the players' entrance, dine within the club's most historic building and take their seats on the Cottage balcony for kick-off. It is rarely available for a single fixture, and a City game is among the hardest to secure.
Fulham uses digital ticketing, and resale listings state the delivery method before you pay. Timing depends on when tickets are released and on the seller, so delivery in the final week is normal for a Premier League fixture.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | That the ticket opens in the club app or your phone wallet and your phone is fully charged |
| E-ticket (PDF) | That the seat details match your order and the barcode is clear |
| Account transfer | That the ticket has been sent to the account you set up and appears there before matchday |
| Local collection | The meeting point, time and contact details supplied with your order |
Read the listing notes before buying, bring valid photo ID in case of spot identity requests and charge your phone fully for mobile entry. Arrive early; Stevenage Road is narrow and the walk from the Tube gets busy in the final half hour.
Getting there is part of the day. Putney Bridge on the District line is the closest station, with a pleasant walk through Bishop's Park along the river, while Hammersmith offers more lines and a slightly longer walk. The riverside pubs on the way from Putney fill up well before kick-off.
Inside the ground, food and drink are served from outlets behind the stands, most of them covered but open to the air, and alcohol is available before the match and at half-time. On a February afternoon by the Thames it can be cold and damp, so dress for the weather whichever stand you choose.
1BoxOffice has been a verified marketplace since 2006, and every order is covered by a 150% money-back guarantee, so booking seats for this Premier League afternoon takes minutes.

Overseas visitors are a big part of the Craven Cottage crowd for City games, and London makes the logistics simple. Heathrow is the closest major airport, with the Piccadilly line linking to Hammersmith and a connection onto the District line for Putney Bridge, while Gatwick, Stansted and Luton all connect to central London by rail. Mobile and e-ticket listings suit international buyers because nothing needs to be posted abroad.
Groups should filter for listings that keep seats together and confirm the arrangement in the notes before paying. The bigger risk is the date. Televised selections are announced a few weeks out, and a Saturday afternoon game can move to Sunday or into a different slot, while City's European commitments can also shift the weekend. Book flexible flights and refundable rooms where you can.
Fulham spent the 2002/03 and 2003/04 seasons at Loftus Road while Craven Cottage was redeveloped, so this record begins with City's visit in April 2005, a 1-1 draw. Seven months later Fulham won 2-1, and that November afternoon remains their only Premier League win over City at the Cottage. The late 2000s brought open games, including a 3-3 in September 2007, before City's rise as a title-winning side turned the fixture sharply in their favour.
Since 2010, City have won ten of their eleven Premier League visits here, with the other ending 2-2 in September 2011. Yet recent meetings have rarely been dull. A 4-0 win in May 2024 helped City towards a fourth straight title, and December 2025 produced a 5-4 classic in which City led 5-2 before Fulham's late fightback kept everyone on their feet through eight minutes of stoppage time.
The run tells its own story. City have not dropped a point at Craven Cottage since that 2-2 draw in September 2011, winning eight Premier League visits in a row. For Fulham, ending that sequence against the runners-up would be one of the landmark afternoons of their recent history, and it is the storyline their supporters will carry into February.
What makes this fixture distinctive is the gap between the record and the entertainment. City almost always win, yet the Cottage has produced some of their most chaotic afternoons, and the proximity of the stands means every goal lands in front of someone. Buyers are paying for the setting and the chance of another classic as much as for the result.
The figures below cover every Premier League meeting at Craven Cottage with Fulham as hosts. The two meetings played at Loftus Road in 2002/03 and 2003/04 are excluded, as are cup ties and earlier league meetings in the old First and Second Divisions, so the record reflects only the modern Premier League fixture at this ground.

The match is scheduled for Saturday 6 February 2027 at 16:00 UK time. The Premier League can still move it within that weekend once broadcast picks are announced.
Visiting supporters take the riverside side of the Putney End, entering from Stevenage Road. That allocation is sold through City, so home and neutral buyers should choose other stands.
No, the former neutral area in the Putney End has reverted to home seating. Neutral fans should sit in home areas and avoid wearing either club's colours.
Putney Bridge on the District line is the nearest, with a riverside walk through Bishop's Park. Hammersmith is the alternative if you need the Piccadilly or Hammersmith and City lines.
Yes, many listings keep pairs and small groups together and say so in the notes. Larger groups usually find more consecutive seats in the ends than in the central longside blocks.
