Buy Fulham vs Nottingham Forest tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Premier League meeting at Craven Cottage scheduled for Wednesday 10 February 2027 at 21:00 UK time. It is a midweek night game under the lights by the Thames, and the Cottagers go into it with a perfect Premier League home record against Forest: four meetings at Craven Cottage, four wins. The reverse fixture at the City Ground is set for early January, so the two sides will meet twice in around six weeks.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
Craven Cottage holds around 29,600, and midweek matches here tend to draw a crowd built around season ticket holders and members, with fewer day-trippers than a Saturday. That can make this one of the more accessible Premier League dates at the ground. Start with the Fulham fixture list to see how it fits alongside the rest of the home calendar.
Midweek rounds are fixed further in advance than weekend games, but the Premier League can still adjust kick-off times for broadcast. Keep travel plans flexible and use the rest of this guide to choose a seat, set a budget and plan the evening, from the walk along the river to the journey home afterwards.
The visitors carry more weight than their league history suggests. Nottingham Forest are twice champions of Europe and one of the most widely followed clubs outside the traditional big six, and their fans travel in numbers even for a midweek trip of more than 120 miles. Expect the away allocation in the Putney End to be full and loud.
For Fulham supporters, this is a fixture with a good recent feel. The two clubs came up together in 2022, Fulham as Championship winners and Forest through the play-offs, and Fulham have taken the upper hand in the Premier League since, winning six of the eight meetings. A 5-0 on a Wednesday night in December 2023 still gets mentioned in the Hammersmith End.
The setting helps too. A floodlit evening at Craven Cottage, with the Thames behind the Riverside Stand and the Cottage pavilion lit up in the corner, is one of the more atmospheric midweek experiences in London football. Neutral visitors staying in the city for work or a short break often pick games like this for exactly that reason.
Hospitality availability is usually better midweek than for headline weekend fixtures, but the Riverside packages still sell steadily. If a lounge seat matters, book it early rather than assuming midweek means plenty of choice.
Midweek also changes who is in the ground. School nights and working hours mean fewer families and fewer long-distance home fans, and some season ticket holders who cannot make a Wednesday evening pass their seats on through the club's exchange. That churn is why listings for midweek games at the Cottage can appear later and in more varied locations than for a Saturday.
Sometimes, but not reliably. Fulham sells single-match tickets through a OneFulham account, and members receive priority access and a discount of £5 on most seats, rising to £10 in the Riverside Stand. For lower-demand fixtures the club can open a general sale, while higher-demand games stay with members and season ticket holders.
Forest's visit sits in the middle of that range. The home crowd is committed, the away end will be full, and the modest capacity means a general sale, if one happens, is usually small and short. Many of the better seats in the Johnny Haynes and Riverside stands are already held by season ticket holders before single-match sales open.
The club's ticket exchange lets members pass on seats they cannot use, but it is limited to account holders and depends on who drops out. For overseas buyers and anyone without a membership, a verified resale marketplace is the dependable route. On 1BoxOffice you can compare stands and prices, see exactly what you are paying and buy without a Fulham account or UK address.
Forest supporters who miss out on their club's allocation face the same choice. Home-area seats are available through resale, but they come with the usual expectation of neutral behaviour: no colours, no celebrating Forest goals and a quiet exit if the stewards ask. Sitting in the Johnny Haynes or Riverside stands keeps you well away from the home end.
The Forest allocation, around 2,700 seats on the riverside side of the Putney End, is sold through Nottingham Forest to their own members and season ticket holders. It is not an option for home or neutral fans.
A final point on safety. Tickets sold on social media or outside the ground carry no protection, and a digital ticket that has been transferred elsewhere or cancelled will not scan. Buying through a platform that verifies sellers removes that risk.
Five factors shape resale prices for this fixture. Location comes first, with the Riverside Stand and central Johnny Haynes seats at the top and the ends below. Demand is the second, and a Forest visit sits below the headline games against the big clubs.
Timing matters: midweek fixtures often hold steadier prices than weekends, with less late spike from visitors. The competition context of the 2026/27 Premier League adds weight when both sides are chasing the same points, and hospitality tier sets the ceiling. Overall, this is one of the more affordable ways to see a Premier League game at the Cottage.
For reference, Fulham's published 2026/27 face values vary by category. In the older stands, adult prices top out at around £73 for Category A games, £61 for Category B and £48 for Category C, while Riverside Stand seats run from about £40 to £75 across those categories. Members save £5 to £10 per ticket. A Forest visit is likely to sit below the top A+ band reserved for the highest-profile opponents, which keeps both face value and resale lower than for the headline fixtures.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammersmith End and Putney End home seats | £45 – £80 | First-time visitors and fans after atmosphere | Behind the goals, close to the pitch in a compact ground |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, wide | £55 – £95 | Fans who want a side-on view | The historic main stand; read notes for pillars and low roof lines |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, central | £70 – £120+ | Buyers who want to be close to the action | Central seats near the halfway line |
| Riverside Stand general seating | £110 – £200+ | Couples and small groups after modern comfort | The newest stand with clear sightlines and generous legroom |
| Hospitality and VIP | £200 – £550+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Riverside packages with dining and premium seats; 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 laid out on four distinct sides. The Johnny Haynes Stand, dating from 1905 and listed, runs along Stevenage Road; the Riverside Stand faces it along the Thames; the Hammersmith End holds the home support; and the Putney End is split between home fans and the away section. The Craven Cottage seating plan shows every block in detail.
There is no longer a neutral area in the Putney End, as Fulham returned it to home seating some years ago. If you are comparing this match with other games at the ground, the Craven Cottage tickets listings cover every fixture this season.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riverside Stand | Buyers who want modern comfort | Premium | Five levels, home to most of the hospitality and the most modern facilities |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, central | Traditionalists after the classic view | Mid to high | Historic main stand; some restricted views at the back |
| Johnny Haynes Stand, wide | A side-on view for less | Mid-range | Towards the corners and the Cottage pavilion |
| Hammersmith End | Committed home fans | Lower to mid | The home end and the heart of the singing |
| Putney End home sections | Better-value seats behind the goal | Lower to mid | Next to the away fans; wear neutral colours |
| Away section, Putney End (riverside side) | Nottingham Forest supporters only | Allocation only | Away fans enter through turnstiles 1 to 17 on Stevenage Road; sold through Forest |
Neutral buyers are best placed in the Johnny Haynes or Riverside stands, away from the Putney End. Forest fans without an away ticket should avoid the Hammersmith End and keep colours out of sight in home areas.
The Johnny Haynes Stand is worth seeing even if you sit elsewhere. Designed by Archibald Leitch, it is one of the oldest stands still in use in English league football, with the red-brick facade on Stevenage Road and the Cottage pavilion beside it. Sitting in it on a floodlit night gives a sense of the ground's history that the newer stands cannot match.
A night-game tip. The Riverside Stand is exposed to the wind off the Thames and February evenings can be raw, so bring a warm layer. The older Johnny Haynes Stand offers more shelter, though some rear rows have a roof that clips the view of high balls.
Access to the Riverside Stand is by a dedicated walkway along the river, which takes a few extra minutes at busy times. Away supporters use turnstiles on Stevenage Road behind the Putney End, so home fans seated in that end should allow for crowds building near the away entrance before kick-off.
Fulham's hospitality sits mainly in the Riverside Stand and covers a wide range of styles. Published packages include Matchday Plus, The Dugout behind the benches, The Originals on a river-facing balcony, the Sky Deck with rooftop bars, The Water's Edge with open-kitchen dining and Constance on Matchdays, a fine-dining option curated by chef Adam Byatt. Club starting prices run from £118.80 to £418.80 per person.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Matchday Plus | Couples after an easy upgrade | Smooth entry, central seats and semi-inclusive food and drink |
| The Dugout | Fans who want to be near the bench | Seats behind the dugouts with inclusive food and drink |
| The Originals and Sky Deck | After-work groups and friends | River views 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 |
A weeknight kick-off suits hospitality well: guests can arrive straight from work, eat before the game and avoid the queues at the public turnstiles. Read each listing for arrival times and inclusions, as these vary by package.
The Dugout deserves a mention for football-first guests. Seats sit directly behind the benches, and pitchside access before kick-off is offered on selected matchdays, so a weeknight game under the floodlights puts you right beside the managers and substitutes as the match unfolds. It trades fine dining for proximity to the action.
For a small group wanting something rarer, The Cottage offers private hospitality for up to six guests inside the historic corner pavilion, with entry through the players' entrance and seats on the famous balcony. It is limited to a single party per match, so availability for any given fixture is never guaranteed.
Fulham uses digital ticketing, and resale listings state the delivery method before you pay. Delivery timing depends on when tickets are released and on the seller, so arrival in the final week is normal.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | That it 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 appears in the account you set up before matchday |
| Local collection | The meeting point, time and contact details supplied with your order |
Read the listing notes, carry valid photo ID in case you are asked for it and charge your phone for mobile entry. Putney Bridge on the District line is the closest station, with a walk through Bishop's Park, while Hammersmith is the alternative on the Piccadilly and Hammersmith and City lines.
Plan the journey home before kick-off. A late finish on a weeknight means busy Tube platforms and fewer late trains out of London, so anyone heading back to the Midlands or beyond should book a room or confirm final departures in advance. Food and drink are available inside from outlets behind the stands before the match and at half-time.
The walk from Putney is part of the evening. Pubs such as the Eight Bells on Fulham High Street and the King's Arms on New King's Road are popular before games, and the route through Bishop's Park brings you out by the Putney End and the river. Allow around 15 to 20 minutes on foot from Putney Bridge.
Aim to arrive 45 minutes before kick-off. Stevenage Road narrows as it nears the ground, and on weeknights the crowd tends to arrive in a late rush straight from work, which can slow the queues at the turnstiles in the final 20 minutes.
1BoxOffice has been a verified marketplace since 2006, and every order is covered by a 150% money-back guarantee, so booking seats for this midweek fixture takes minutes.

A midweek fixture fits neatly into a business trip or short city break. Heathrow is the nearest major airport, with the Piccadilly line running to Hammersmith, and Gatwick, Stansted and Luton all link to central London by rail. Mobile and e-ticket listings suit overseas buyers because nothing needs to be posted, and the digital format means tickets can be delivered to you wherever you are staying.
Groups should filter for listings that keep seats together and confirm the arrangement before paying. Midweek dates move less often than weekend fixtures, but a broadcast change or a clash with cup commitments can still shift the kick-off, so book flexible travel and refundable rooms where you can.
Fulham and Forest spent years meeting in the Championship, but the Premier League version of this fixture only began in 2022, when both clubs won promotion in the same summer. Fulham won the first top-flight meeting 3-2 at the City Ground that September, then beat Forest 2-0 at Craven Cottage the following February. Forest's return to the top flight after 23 years came with plenty of noise, but Fulham quickly found a way to beat them.
The high point came on a Wednesday night in December 2023, when Fulham won 5-0 at the Cottage. Forest's only Premier League win in the fixture followed at the City Ground in April 2024, and the sides have traded tight results since, including a 1-0 Fulham win at the Cottage in December 2025 and a goalless draw in Nottingham in March 2026.
The pattern across those eight games is clear. Fulham have been the more consistent side in head-to-head terms, winning at both grounds and keeping five clean sheets, while Forest's best afternoon came on home soil. Four of the eight meetings have been decided by a single goal, which suggests the gap is narrower than the overall record implies, and explains why the away end will travel expecting a result.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how firmly Fulham have held the Cottage. Forest have conceded ten goals in four Premier League visits here and scored only once, so February's trip is as much about breaking a pattern as collecting points. With the reverse fixture in Nottingham only weeks earlier, the result there will shape the mood in the away end on the night.
Because Fulham have hosted Forest in the Premier League only four times, the table below covers all Premier League meetings between the sides at both grounds. Earlier meetings in the Championship and the old divisions are excluded, so the figures reflect the top-flight fixture only.
| Metric | Total |

The match is scheduled for Wednesday 10 February 2027 at 21:00 UK time. Kick-off times for midweek rounds can still be adjusted for broadcast.
Visiting supporters take the riverside side of the Putney End, entering from Stevenage Road. The allocation is sold through Forest, so home and neutral buyers should choose other stands.
Often yes, as weeknight games draw fewer day-trippers than weekend fixtures. Prices also tend to stay steadier in the final fortnight.
It depends on final train times, which can be tight after a late weeknight finish. Many travelling fans book a London hotel or arrange coach travel instead.
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.
