The 2005-06 season was Fulham's fifth consecutive season in the top flight of English football, the Premier League. The club were again managed by Chris Coleman and they managed to achieve a position of 12th in the league, one place higher than the previous season. Their best results of the season were home wins against Chelsea (1-0) and Liverpool (2-0).

In the Carling Cup they reached the third round by winning an amazing game against Lincoln City 5-4 after extra time, but they then succumbed to West Brom. In the FA Cup they fell at the first hurdle, with a humiliating 2-1 home defeat to Leyton Orient.
