29th Season
12 September 2020 – 23 May 2021
Fulham made a quick return to the English Premier League having been relegated from the competition at the end of the 2018/19 season.
The Cottagers are back in the elite league after defeating London rivals Brentford 2-1 in the English Championship playoff final.
They qualified for the playoffs after finishing fourth in the 2019/20 English Championship.
The Cottagers had defeated former Premier League side Cardiff City 3-2 on aggregate in the playoffs semi-final tie.
They have spent 27 seasons in English football's top division, the majority of which have come in two periods during the 1960s and 2000s.

Parker, the Fulham manager, described leading the Cottagers to promotion as the proudest moment of his career.
“This is my proudest moment by a long way. I said to the guys that I think why I’m so proud is because I’ve seen the team grow along a journey which has been tough this year," Parker said.

“I’m the one that fronts it up on the side of the pitch, the players are the ones out on the pitch.
"But underneath it all there’s a support mechanism around myself, my family and close friends, and it’s the same with the players. And I’m emotional and proud for them," he added.
“At times this year it’s been very, very difficult. It’s been tough, and when you’re in amongst it and it’s going at 100mph, sometimes you lose sight of other things, family and everything else."

Known as London's oldest football club playing professionally, Fulham lost 2-0 against West Ham United in the FA Cup Final as a Second Division team.
The Cottagers managed to reach the 2010 UEFA Europa League final where they lost 2-1 to Spanish giants Atletico Madrid after extra time.
