Fulham vs. Crystal Palace: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 56

Fulham wins: 19

Draws: 20

Fulham and Crystal Palace have met 56 times in competitive football, with the Cottagers holding a slender advantage in the overall head-to-head, having recorded 19 victories to Palace’s 17, while 20 encounters have finished level.

Their most recent meeting took place on New Year's Day 2026, when the clubs shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park. Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring shortly before half time, though the Eagles were unable to hold out for the win.

Marco Silva's Cottagers missed a number of chances and even struck the woodwork through Raul Jimenez, before captain Tom Cairney came off the bench to equalise late on with a brilliant half-volley.

That stalemate extended Palace's unbeaten run to four matches in this fixture, but it also means that they have now gone five games without a win against Fulham at Selhurst Park (D3, L2), only scoring once in these meetings.

Their first two clashes took place back in February 1907 when Crystal Palace won 1-0 on home soil in a 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 six times compared to Fulham's four across their 15 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.
