The Premier League has confirmed a new date and kick-off time for Fulham’s home match against Tottenham Hotspur, originally postponed earlier in the season due to clashes with Tottenham’s European commitments.
The London derby will now be played on Sunday, 16 March, with a 1:30 pm UK kick-off at Craven Cottage. This change gives Spurs the space they need in their schedule after advancing in continental competition. Tottenham’s involvement in the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 required rearranging this league fixture to ensure sufficient recovery and preparation time for both sides.
Fixture adjustments like this are common in the Premier League calendar, especially for clubs involved in European tournaments and domestic cup competitions. The League works with broadcasters and clubs to reorganise dates while maintaining competitive balance and accommodating TV selections.
The match will be an important one for both teams as they look to improve their standings in the tightly contested table. Fulham will aim for points at home, while Tottenham will seek a crucial away victory to boost their push for European qualification.
