Fulham vs Chelsea key information

• Date: Sunday, 20 April, 2025

• Kick-off time: 2pm BST / 9am ET

• Venue: Craven Cottage, London

Barely 2,500 metres separate today's host ground of Craven Cottage from Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea in the neighbouring borough of refined west London.

In the Premier League table, six points separate the two sides, with Fulham sitting ninth and Chelsea currently in sixth.

Both sides are in the hunt for the right to play European football next year and while for Fulham that would be a Europa League spot, Chelsea have their sights set higher on one of the top four spots for the Champions League. With Nottingham Forest three points ahead of them, and strong competition all around them, Enzo Maresca's side cannot afford to drop more points after two draws and a defeat in their last four games.

It should be a great game and a great occasion, so read on for all the details on where to watch Fulham vs Chelsea online and on TV, wherever you are in the world.

Is Fulham vs Chelsea on TV in the UK?

Fulham vs Chelsea is not being televised in the UK on Sunday.

The game is taking place on a Sunday at 2pm, a traditional TV slot, but it's not part of the Sky Sports Super Sunday billing – which instead features Ipswich vs Arsenal and Leicester vs Liverpool.

Only a certain amount of games can be televised live each week in the UK. This fixture is only taking place on a Sunday because of Chelsea's involvement in the Europa League on Thursday night, giving them an extra day to recover. Otherwise, the game would have taken place on Saturday at 3pm, which is covered by a live TV blackout.

For those not in the stadium, you'll have to tune into the radio, wait for highlights on Match of the Day or, if you're visiting the UK from abroad, use a VPN to access your usual coverage – more on that below.

What if you're away from home when the game kicks off, and find access to your usual streaming service geo-blocked? The solution is a VPN, a piece of software that sets your devices to appear to be in any country in the world.

Assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock the streaming services you're subscribed to, with a host of privacy and protection benefits on top – that sounds like a result.
