They were managed by Roy Hodgson in his first full season as Fulham manager.

They eventually finished in seventh place in the Premier League table with 53 points, an improvement of ten places and 18 points. Their league position secured a place in the newly formed UEFA Europa League for the 2009–10 season as well as their highest League finish in their history.

Premier League Fulham started the season playing away at the KC Stadium against newly promoted Hull City. Seol Ki-hyeon gave Fulham the lead in the eighth minute. Their lead lasted less than 15 minutes because Geovanni equalised in the 22nd minute. Caleb Folan completed the Hull turn-around ten minutes from the end of normal time, capping a 2–1 victory for the home team. However, the following week the team gained their first victory of the season with a win against much-fancied Arsenal for only the second time in 43 years. The only goal of the game came from Brede Hangeland midway through the first half who scored directly from a Jimmy Bullard cross, from a couple of yards. A slightly off-colour Arsenal played their usual passing game but could not break Fulham down.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7565059.stm Fulham 1-0 Arsenal BBC Sport 23 August 2008 29 December 2008 Phil McNulty https://web.archive.org/web/20080914134435/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7565059.stm 2008-09-14 The team did not have another Premier League game to play until 13 September due to Manchester United's participation in the UEFA Super Cup, as well as the break from league football at the beginning of September for international World Cup qualifying matches. On 17 May 2009, the club confirmed their highest ever league finish with a 1–0 victory over relegation-threatened Newcastle United at St James' Park. The victory kept them in seventh place in the table, with eighth being the lowest they could finish, bettering the ninth-place finish in 2004. Kamara scored in the 41st minute of a tense game which was full of chances for both sides.

But the lead only lasted until the 36th minute as the lively Craig Westcarr scored a deflected freekick. Kettering continued to press after the break and with the additions of Danny Murphy and Bobby Zamora, they regained the lead in the 77th minute with Murphy scoring the goal.

Roy Hodgson made three changes from Fulham's last Premier League match against Wigan, with Dempsey and Paintsil rested after playing abroad in midweek for their countries. to be replaced by Gera and Stoor while Zamora also dropped to the bench in favour of Nevland. Swansea created some clear-cut opportunities in the early stages, with Mark Gower, Alan Tate and Lloyd Dyer testing Mark Schwarzer. Fulham, however, found the breakthrough a minute before half-time with a slice of luck as Paul Konchesky's corner was deflected in off Swansea defender Garry Monk. Swansea continued to dominate and equalised in the 52nd minute when Jason Scotland scored, evading a challenge before firing the ball low past Schwarzer. With both sides playing attractive passing football the sides could not be separated. Fulham and Swansea both went into the hat for the quarter-finals and were given the prospect of a tie with defending Premier League and Champions League champions Manchester United. They first had to get through the fifth round replay, which took place on 24 February 2009 at Craven Cottage. It was Fulham's second game in three days but Roy Hodgson put out a strong side with the only changes being Nevland replacing Johnson up front and Dacourt making his first start for the club in place of Danny Murphy. Jason Scotland scored just after half-time following an even first half, knocking the ball in from 15 yards. Fulham, however, did not give up, Zamora coming close on several occasions before they equalised through Dempsey in the 67th minute. Four minutes later, they turned the game around when Zamora scored his second goal in as many games. The home side held on to secure victory.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7899650.stm Fulham 2–1 Swansea British Broadcasting Corporation BBC Sport 24 February 2009 25 February 2009 Peter Shuttleworth https://web.archive.org/web/20090226142816/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7899650.stm 26 February 2009 livehttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7890944.stm Fulham set to face Man Utd in cup British Broadcasting Corporation BBC Sport 24 February 2009 25 February 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090217064300/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7890944.stm 17 February 2009 live DateRoundOpponentsH / AResult F – AScorersAttendance3 January 2009Third RoundSheffield WednesdayA2–1A.

They faced a Leicester City side finding their feet in League One after relegation the previous season. Fulham took the lead in the 31st minute through one of their new signings, Hungarian international Zoltán Gera, but Leicester turned the game around in the early stages of the second half. Veteran Paul Dickov drew them level on 46 minutes and just two minutes later Andy King completed the turnaround. The match remained 2–1 until the 83rd minute when Jimmy Bullard levelled the score. But this was not the end of the scoring and with the game seemingly heading for extra-time, Danny Murphy scored the winner for Fulham in the second minute of stoppage time to win the encounter and send Fulham through to the third round. In the third round, a Fulham side featuring the attacking talents of Johnson, Gera and Dempsey lost 1–0 to a Burnley side who had been performing well and sitting in the play-off positions in the Championship. With the match seemingly heading for extra-time, Jay Rodriguez won the match in the 88th minute. He collected a Chris Eagles through ball just inside the area and then slotted the ball past Pascal Zuberbühler. Fulham were therefore knocked out of the competition.
