Fulham have confirmed that all season ticket prices will increase by 3.5% for the 2026-27 campaign.

The Whites also announced a record total of season ticket-holders at Craven Cottage this season, 13 Premier League sellouts and a record number of seats sold through the club's ticket exchange scheme.

The prise rises were explained in a club statement, which read: "Throughout discussions with the FAB [Fan Advisory Board], the club was reminded of the importance of keeping football at Craven Cottage affordable and limiting the financial impact on our fanbase.

"Recognising and respecting this, though noting that matchday operating costs continue to rise, the club and the FAB agreed that a 3.5% increase will help to contribute to financial sustainability and compliance with new financial regulations."

Any supporters who held season tickets before 2022-23 will "continue to receive the lowest renewal price for the upcoming season", with the club also keeping its over-65s and 18 to 21-year-old concessionary categories.

The club also said junior season tickets will "continue to offer exceptional value" at just over £8 per Premier League fixture.

FAB chair David Claridge said: "The FAB always appreciates the chance to discuss ticket pricing with the club. We entered the consultation reminding the club of our support for the FSA's 'Stop Exploiting Loyalty' campaign, which advocated for a league-wide price freeze.

"However, the club was very open about the rising operating costs and new financial regulations it faces next season.

"The club listened to our feedback and adjusted their initial proposal to arrive at a 3.5% increase, which balances the club's financial sustainability with the needs of our supporters."
