or Finnish club HJK Helsinki
. FK Vėtra were confirmed as Fulham's opponents after winning the tie 3–2 on aggregate.
Their pre-season campaign started with defeat to Gold Coast United: despite Danny Murphy scoring in the 15th minute, Gold Coast scored twice in the final ten minutes to win the match. This was followed by a 3–0 victory against Melbourne Glory and a 5–0 win against Perth Glory. Andy Johnson scored in both games and Erik Nevland
scored a hat-trick against Perth to follow up a goal in Melbourne. Eddie Johnson and Andranik
were the other two scorers in the matches in Melbourne and Perth respectively.
Fulham's first match back in England was a 0–0 draw against AFC Bournemouth on 21 July at Dean Court. This was followed four days later by their final pre-season friendly, an eventful match at London Road
against Peterborough
. Clint Dempsey
and Bobby Zamora
(2) gave Fulham a 3–0 half-time lead but Aaron McLean

(2) scored second-half goals to salvage a 3–3 draw.
against Portsmouth
. Their opponents were in financial trouble and had sold many of their top players, including Peter Crouch
and Glen Johnson during the summer. A minute's applause was held before the game in memory of Fulham's former manager Sir Bobby Robson. In a game that Fulham controlled, Bobby Zamora
put the away side in the lead after 13 minutes, deflecting a Clint Dempsey shot past Portsmouth goalkeeper David James
. Both sides created chances but Fulham held the greater threat and won the match 1–0.
Fulham's second league match of the season was against near-neighbours Chelsea
in the West London derby
. Fulham were missing the injured Andy Johnson and new signing Damien Duff
came into the side to replace him, with Dempsey playing alongside Zamora. Dempsey and Chelsea's Didier Drogba
both had opportunities but, in the hot conditions, neither side had many shots in the first half. Drogba, however, gave Chelsea the lead five minutes before the break, shooting low past Schwarzer. Nicolas Anelka
, the provider for Drogba's goal, doubled their lead from Drogba's throughball in the 76th minute, effectively sealing the match 2–0 in Chelsea's favour.
The third fixture of the season was an away match at Villa Park against Aston Villa. New midfield signing Jonathan Greening
made his debut and Aaron Hughes
captained the side in the absence of Murphy. Fulham got off to the worst possible start when John Paintsil, under pressure from Villa's Carlos Cuéllar
, inadvertently headed the ball past Schwarzer. Villa had a few promising attacks, notably through the pace of striker Gabriel Agbonlahor
, but Fulham created chances of their own in an even first half. However they could not score past goalkeeper Brad Friedel
and were punished by a second goal, this time from their own player Agbonlahor on the hour mark. Villa held out for a 2–0 victory and Fulham lost their second successive Premier League match.

from Lithuania
. The first leg was played away at the Vėtra Stadium on 30 July 2009. Hodgson started with his preferred line-up from the previous season, with Brede Hangeland
, Aaron Hughes
, John Pantsil
and Paul Konchesky
in front of Schwarzer
and the front pairing of Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora
. Dickson Etuhu
was the only absentee, giving an opportunity to Chris Baird
in central midfield. The game was tight for the first half hour before Fulham seized the initiative and Bobby Zamora
gave them the lead on the stroke of half-time with a shot just inside the penalty area. Danny Murphy doubled Fulham's advantage from the penalty spot in the 56th minute following a foul on Zamora. Both sides made changes but Fulham continued to press and they added a third goal through Seol Ki-Hyeon
five minutes from the end. A minute's silence was held before the second match at Craven Cottage following the death of former Fulham manager Sir Bobby Robson. Fulham took the lead in the 57th minute through Etuhu, putting the tie beyond any real doubt at 4–0. Andy Johnson scored two further goals from close range in the 80th and 84th minutes, the latter set up by his namesake Eddie Johnson. Fulham progressed to the next round and awaited the identity of their opponents for the play-offs.
The draw for the play-off round was conducted on 7 August and saw Fulham drawn against the unfamiliar opposition of FC Amkar Perm
from Russia. In the first leg at Craven Cottage, Andy Johnson scored early on in the 4th minute to settle any nerves but he also picked up an injury to his collarbone in the first half and had to be substituted. Clint Dempsey
scored a second goal just after half-time and Zamora added to the lead in the 75th minute. Amkar Perm did manage to score an away-goal two minutes later in the shape of a Martin Kushev
volley but Fulham held a 3–1 advantage. Fulham travelled to Russia for the second leg without the presence of injured first-team regulars Andy Johnson, Murphy, Zamora and Konchesky. Amkar Perm dominated the match but did not score a goal until the last minute when Martin Kushev
scored a header past Schwarzer. Fulham's 3–1 victory from the first leg, however, was enough to see them through 3–2 on aggregate.
The draw for the group stages was made a day later. Fulham were drawn in Group E along with AS Roma of Italy, Swiss side Basel
and Bulgaria's CSKA Sofia.
The squad numbers were announced at the beginning of the 2009–10 season. Chris Baird
was given the number 6 shirt, which Andranik
wore during the 08/09 season – Andranik
was given the number 14 shirt instead. Seol Ki-Hyeon
managed to get back the number 7 after Giles Barnes
returned to Derby County
after having been at Fulham on loan. Bobby Zamora
was given the number 25 shirt pushing Simon Davies to the number 29 shirt. The players with higher squad numbers changed squad numbers to fill the list. Before Joe Anderson
left the club and made his debut, he was given the number 36 shirt.
