Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 64

Fulham wins: 23

Draws: 15

Fulham and Leeds United have faced each other a total of 64 times across all competitions, and it is the West Yorkshire-based Whites who marginally leading the overall head-to-head record with 26 wins to the Cottagers' 23, while there have also been 15 draws played out between the two teams.

December 1920 was the very first time these two clubs butted heads in the old Division Two when they played out a goalless stalemate, In fact, each of their first 22 encounters took place in Division Two, with Leeds celebrating 10 wins to Fulham's seven during this period up until 1956.

Fulham and Leeds continued to face each other on a regular basis in Divisions One and Two before locking horns for the first time in the Premier League between 2001 and 2004. The Cottagers won three of those six meetings without reply, with the Whites winning twice at Elland Road and also without conceding a goal.

Both teams eventually dropped out of the top flight and played against each other in five seasons out of six in the Championship between 2014 and 2020. Five consecutive draws - including four in a row by a 1-1 scoreline - were played out during this period and neither team was able to complete the double over one another. Leeds were promoted as champions in 2019-20 and beat playoff winners Fulham 3-0 on home soil in the regular season, having previously lost 2-1 at Craven Cottage.

Since then, Fulham have consolidated their Premier League status, while Leeds have fluctuated from the first and second tiers. The Whites did the double over the Cottagers in the 2020-21 campaign, including a memorable 4-3 top-flight victory at Elland Road, but Fulham responded by beating Leeds home and away two seasons later, including a 2-1 home win in April 2023.

The Cottagers also prevailed on home soil in September 2025, but only thanks to a huge stroke of fortune, as Gabriel Gudmundsson headed past his own goalkeeper in injury time to gift Fulham a 1-0 victory.

Meanwhile, Fulham and Leeds have faced each other just three times in domestic cup competitions. While the Whites have won both EFL Cup meetings in 1969 (second round) and 2021 (third round), the Cottagers prevailed in the first and only FA Cup tie to date between the two clubs in February 2023, winning 2-0 at home in the fifth round.
