Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 57

Fulham wins: 19

Draws: 20

Fulham and Crystal Palace have met 57 times in competitive football, with the Cottagers holding a slender advantage in the overall head-to-head, having recorded 19 victories to Palace’s 18, while 20 encounters have finished level.

Their most recent meeting took place in September 2026 at Craven Cottage, where Palace emerged as 3-2 victors in dramatic fashion.

Joshua King had given Fulham an 11th-minute lead, while Cesar Palacios netted just before half time to restore his side's advantage after Tyrick Mitchell had equalised minutes prior.

However, Mitchell would score again after the interval, before Ben Chilwell then scored Palace's third in the 77th minute.

That win extended Palace's unbeaten run to five matches in this fixture, and they are also nine games unbeaten at Craven Cottage (W6, D3), though Fulham are unbeaten at Selhurst Park in five meetings at the ground (W2, D3).

Their first two clashes took place back in February 1907 when Crystal Palace won 1-0 on home soil in an FA Cup second-round replay after both teams played out a goalless stalemate at Craven Cottage in their first encounter.

Both teams then butted heads on eight occasions in the old Division Two between 1921 and 1925, with Crystal Palace winning the first of those before losing four and drawing three with Fulham.

Eight more fixtures in Division Three (South) followed between 1928 and 1932, with Fulham losing four of their first five meetings, including 4-3 and 5-2 away defeats in 1930, before winning two of their next three, including a comfortable 4-0 home win in January 1932.

Fulham then enjoyed a 20-year period of dominance over Crystal Palace, as they won nine, drew nine and lost just three games out of 21 across all competitions between 1966 and 1986. The Cottagers then won three out of four (D1) meetings in the second tier in 1999-2000 and 2000-01, but Palace's fortunes have turned slightly in the Premier League era (since 1992-93).

Indeed, Palace have won seven times compared to Fulham's four across their 16 top-flight encounters. The Eagles won three PL games in a row by an aggregate score of 6-1 between August 2018 and October 2020, but Fulham then enjoyed a six-game unbeaten run against Palace (W2 D4).

Fulham's most recent win over Palace was a 2-0 success at Selhurst Park in November 2024, but the Eagles got their revenge in February 2025 as they won by the same scoreline at Craven Cottage, before also roaring to a 3-0 FA Cup quarter-final victory a few weeks later.
