The 2021–22 season was Fulham's 124th season in existence and their first season back in the Championship, following relegation from the Premier League the previous season. Alongside the Championship, the club reached the fourth round of the FA Cup, and the third round of the EFL Cup. The season covers the period from July 2021 to 30 June 2022.
On 19 April 2022, Fulham secured promotion back to the Premier League following a 3–0 home win over Preston North End. With a 7–0 win over Luton Town on 2 May, Fulham were confirmed as champions.
Managerial changes During pre-season, head coach Scott Parker left the club by mutual consent. Later, he was appointed as new AFC Bournemouth head coach following the sacking of Jonathan Woodgate. Two days later, Portuguese football manager Marco Silva was appointed to replace him as head coach on a three-year deal.
Pre-season friendlies The Whites announced a pre-season friendly against Millwall F.C. as well as Charlton Athletic as part of their preparations for the new season.
