Fulham host Newcastle United at Craven Cottage on Sunday, 24 May 2026, in what shapes up as the definition of a dead rubber — the final day of the Premier League season with European football out of reach for both sides.

Match details

Kick-off is set for 4:00pm BST (11:00am ET) at Craven Cottage, London. In the UK, the match is broadcast live on Sky Sports. Viewers in the United States can watch on Peacock and NBCSN, with NBCSN also accessible through cord-cutting services including Sling TV, YouTube TV, and DirecTV Stream. Australian fans can follow the action on Stan Sport.

A difficult run-in for the Cottagers

Fulham's hopes of securing European football flickered before dying out entirely following last week's results. Manager Marco Silva watched his side stumble at the crucial moment — the Cottagers have won just one of their last six league matches, a run that handed the initiative to Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion in the race for continental spots.

Newcastle's underwhelming campaign

Newcastle United have endured a frustrating season of their own. Eddie Howe's side find themselves in mid-table, a far cry from their 5th-place finish in the previous campaign. Much of the post-mortem has centred on the club's summer recruitment, with Nick Woltemade's form having dropped sharply since his own goal against Sunderland in December.

Transfer speculation is already swirling around the Magpies' key players. The futures of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes are both generating significant debate, while Anthony Gordon has been linked with a move away — Bayern Munich are reported to be favourites to sign the winger.

Prediction

With pride the only currency left on the table, FourFourTwo predict a narrow 1-0 win for the home side, with Harry Wilson grabbing the only goal of the game.
