Cole Palmer has established himself as one of Chelsea’s most important attacking players, and his goalscoring numbers remain a major talking point among football fans. The England international entered 2026 looking to rediscover the consistency that made him one of the Premier League’s most productive attackers, and his year has included several memorable moments, including a first-half hat-trick against Wolverhampton Wanderers and a decisive goal against Fulham at the beginning of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.
The Cole Palmer Goals 2026 numbers need a little context because a calendar year crosses two different football seasons. Palmer’s goals in January through May 2026 came during Chelsea’s 2025/26 campaign, while his August goal against Fulham belongs to the 2026/27 season. Chelsea’s official season review recorded Palmer with 11 goals and three assists in all competitions during 2025/26, while his first goal of the new Premier League season came at Fulham on August 24.
As of August 26, 2026, Palmer has scored eight goals for Chelsea in the 2026 calendar year. Seven of those came between January and May during the second half of the 2025/26 season, while his eighth arrived in August against Fulham. He has also contributed assists, including two in Chelsea’s Champions League victory over Napoli and another in the Premier League against Leeds.
This article covers Cole Palmer’s 2026 goals, assists, appearances, competition-by-competition record, penalty goals, scoring rate, memorable finishes, monthly breakdown and his importance to Chelsea and England.
Note: The figures in this article are based on matches played through August 26, 2026. Calendar-year statistics should not be confused with 2025/26 or 2026/27 season statistics.
Cole Palmer Goals 2026 – Quick Overview
The clearest way to understand Palmer’s 2026 record is to separate his calendar-year performance from his season totals.
Through August 26, Palmer has scored eight goals for Chelsea in 2026. Seven came in the second half of the 2025/26 season and one came in the opening Premier League match of 2026/27.
His seven Premier League goals between January and May included goals against Brentford, Wolves, Leeds, Aston Villa and Sunderland. StatMuse’s match data records seven Premier League goals through May 24? More precisely, the calendar-year Premier League total was seven goals and one assist after his Sunderland goal, while the August Fulham strike took his overall Chelsea calendar-year tally to eight.
| Stat | Cole Palmer 2026 |
| Chelsea Goals | 8 |
| Premier League Goals | 8 |
| Champions League Goals | 0 |
| FA Cup Goals | 0 |
| EFL Cup Goals | 0 |
| England Goals | 0 |
| Calendar-Year Chelsea Goal Contributions | At least 12 |
| Penalty Goals | 4 in the Premier League through May 2026 |
| Latest Goal | vs Fulham, August 24, 2026 |
The distinction between competitions is important. Palmer did not score in the Champions League during 2026, despite producing an excellent creative performance against Napoli. He also did not score in the FA Cup during the year. His goals were concentrated in the Premier League.

How Many Goals Has Cole Palmer Scored in 2026?
As of August 26, Cole Palmer has scored eight goals in the 2026 calendar year for Chelsea.
His first goal of the year came against Brentford on January 17. He then produced one of the most eye-catching scoring performances of his Chelsea career when he scored three times against Wolves on February 7. Three days later, he scored again against Leeds United.
Palmer added another Premier League goal at Aston Villa on March 4 and then went through a relatively quiet spell in front of goal. He eventually returned to the scoresheet on the final day of the 2025/26 Premier League season, scoring Chelsea’s only goal in a 2-1 defeat at Sunderland on May 24.
The eighth goal came in Chelsea’s first Premier League match of the 2026/27 season. Against Fulham on August 24, Palmer scored shortly after half-time to put Chelsea 3-1 ahead in a match they eventually won 3-2. João Pedro assisted Palmer’s goal, while Palmer had earlier assisted João Pedro for Chelsea’s opening goal.
It is important not to describe those eight goals as his “2026/27 season total.” Only one of them belongs to the new season. The other seven were scored during the 2025/26 campaign.
Cole Palmer Goals by Competition in 2026
Cole Palmer Premier League Goals 2026
The Premier League has been by far the biggest source of Palmer’s goals in the 2026 calendar year.
His first league goal of the year arrived against Brentford on January 17. Palmer converted from the penalty spot as Chelsea continued their campaign.
February was the standout month. At Molineux on February 7, Palmer scored a remarkable first-half hat-trick in Chelsea’s 3-1 victory over Wolves. Two of the goals were penalties, while the third came from open play. The performance made Palmer the first player in Premier League history to score three first-half hat-tricks. It also gave him four Premier League hat-tricks for Chelsea, moving him beyond Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who each scored three.
On February 10, Palmer scored another penalty against Leeds United and also registered an assist in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw.
His next league goal came on March 4 against Aston Villa. Palmer scored Chelsea’s third goal in a 4-1 comeback victory at Villa Park, driving a half-volley from the edge of the area beyond the goalkeeper.
Palmer then went without a league goal through much of April and most of May. He came close against Liverpool, where he put the ball into the net only for the goal to be ruled out because Marc Cucurella had been offside in the build-up.
His next official goal came on May 24 against Sunderland. Palmer pulled one back in the 56th minute, but Chelsea ultimately lost 2-1.
Finally, Palmer opened his 2026/27 Premier League scoring account against Fulham on August 24. His finish completed a 3-2 Chelsea victory and gave Xabi Alonso an encouraging competitive debut as Chelsea manager.
Cole Palmer Champions League Goals 2026
Palmer did not score a Champions League goal during the 2026 calendar year.
That does not mean he was ineffective in Europe. On January 28, Chelsea defeated Napoli 3-2, and Palmer made a major impact after coming on at half-time. He assisted both of João Pedro’s second-half goals.
Palmer also played in Chelsea’s Champions League knockout meetings with Paris Saint-Germain in March. He created opportunities and tested the PSG goalkeeper but did not find the net. StatMuse’s competition data shows Palmer finished the 2026 portion of Chelsea’s Champions League campaign without a goal.
That makes his European record an interesting contrast to his Premier League output: Palmer was often involved creatively in Europe, but his 2026 goals were concentrated in domestic competition.
Cole Palmer FA Cup Goals 2026
Palmer did not score an FA Cup goal in 2026.
Chelsea’s FA Cup run included a 5-1 victory over Charlton Athletic, a 4-0 win over Hull City, a 7-0 quarter-final victory over Port Vale, a 1-0 semi-final win against Leeds United and a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the final.
Palmer was rested for the Hull City victory, while he captained Chelsea against Port Vale and played in the semi-final and final. He was involved in Chelsea’s attacking play but did not register a goal in those FA Cup appearances.
The FA Cup final at Wembley was particularly disappointing for Chelsea. Palmer started the match, but Manchester City won 1-0 through Antoine Semenyo’s second-half goal.
Cole Palmer EFL Cup Goals 2026
Palmer did not score an EFL Cup goal in the 2026 calendar year.
Chelsea’s League Cup campaign had already ended before the main part of Palmer’s 2026 scoring run. As a result, the EFL Cup does not contribute to his calendar-year goal tally.
Cole Palmer International Goals for England in 2026
Palmer did not score for England during the 2026 calendar year.
He featured for England in March friendlies against Uruguay and Japan, but neither appearance resulted in a goal. His international record for 2026 therefore remained at zero goals. UEFA’s European qualifying statistics also list Palmer without a goal in the relevant 2026 England appearance.
His absence from England’s 2026 World Cup squad also meant that Palmer did not have the opportunity to add World Cup goals to his calendar-year total.
Cole Palmer Chelsea Goals in 2026
All eight of Palmer’s 2026 goals have come for Chelsea.
The distribution tells an interesting story. His scoring was heavily concentrated in the Premier League, with seven goals during the second half of the 2025/26 campaign and one in the opening game of the following season.
| Period | Goals |
| January 2026 | 1 |
| February 2026 | 4 |
| March 2026 | 1 |
| April 2026 | 0 |
| May 2026 | 1 |
| June 2026 | 0 |
| July 2026 | 0 |
| August 2026 | 1 |
| Total | 8 |
The February explosion is the biggest reason the calendar-year total reached eight. Palmer’s four goals that month included a hat-trick against Wolves and a penalty against Leeds.
Chelsea’s official 2025/26 season review shows Palmer finished that season with 11 goals and three assists in all competitions. Five of those 11 goals were penalties.
The 2026 calendar-year figure is therefore not the same as his 2025/26 season figure.
Cole Palmer England Goals in 2026
Palmer’s England statistics are much quieter than his Chelsea numbers.
He appeared for England in March 2026, playing against Uruguay and Japan. He did not score in either match. England’s international database lists him with 14 senior caps and two goals overall, with his most recent cap coming against Japan on March 31, 2026.
That means his Cole Palmer Goals 2026 total is driven entirely by his club performances rather than international football.
His England role remains interesting because Palmer offers something different from a conventional central midfielder. He can operate from the right, move centrally, play as an attacking midfielder or drift into the final third. That flexibility has made him a valuable option for England even during periods when competition for attacking positions has been intense.
Cole Palmer Goals and Assists 2026
Goals tell only part of the story with Palmer.
His creative influence was particularly visible in the Champions League victory over Napoli. Coming on at half-time, he supplied two assists for João Pedro as Chelsea turned the match around and won 3-2.
In the Premier League, Palmer also assisted João Pedro against Fulham before scoring himself. That performance was an important reminder that his value is not limited to finishing chances.
For the 2025/26 season as a whole, Chelsea officially recorded Palmer with 11 goals and three assists in all competitions.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Goal Contributions |
| Premier League | — | 8 in 2026 | At least 1 | At least 9 |
| Champions League | — | 0 | 2 vs Napoli | 2 |
| FA Cup | — | 0 | — | — |
| EFL Cup | — | 0 | — | — |
| England | 2+ | 0 | — | — |
| Chelsea calendar-year total | — | 8 | Multiple | Multiple |
Because assist definitions can differ between statistical providers and some competitions have different data coverage, it is safer to distinguish between confirmed match assists and a provider’s overall calendar-year assist total.
Cole Palmer Goal-Scoring Record in 2026
Palmer’s 2026 scoring record has been defined by two contrasting qualities: spectacular bursts of scoring and periods without a goal.
His best scoring spell came in February. He scored three times against Wolves and followed it with another goal against Leeds. The Wolves hat-trick was especially significant because it combined two penalties with an open-play finish.
According to Premier League match data, Palmer’s seven league goals from January through May included four penalty goals. His calendar-year Premier League record through May 24 was seven goals and one assist.
The August goal against Fulham then gave him eight Premier League goals for the calendar year.
His scoring record can therefore be summarized as:
- 8 Chelsea goals in the 2026 calendar year
- 8 Premier League goals
- 0 Champions League goals
- 0 FA Cup goals
- 0 EFL Cup goals
- 0 England goals
- 4 Premier League penalty goals through May 2026
- 1 hat-trick in 2026
- Latest goal: Fulham, August 24, 2026
His Premier League goals per game for the calendar year were boosted considerably by the Wolves hat-trick. At the same time, the long scoreless stretches in April and May show why goals-per-90 and chance quality are often more informative than simply counting goals.
Cole Palmer Penalty Goals in 2026
Penalty taking has become an important part of Palmer’s scoring profile.
During the 2026 calendar year, he scored four Premier League penalties through May. Two came in the first half against Wolves, while another came against Leeds. His fourth Premier League penalty goal of the period was part of his wider 2026 league scoring record.
The Wolves performance demonstrated his confidence from the spot. Palmer converted twice before completing his hat-trick with an open-play goal. The Premier League subsequently highlighted his performance as a record-setting first-half hat-trick.
Chelsea’s official 2025/26 season statistics recorded Palmer with five penalty goals across all competitions during the entire season, meaning his penalty contribution was a significant part of his overall 11-goal campaign.
However, it would be misleading to suggest that Palmer is dependent on penalties. His open-play finishing remains a major part of his game, as demonstrated by the third goal against Wolves, the goal at Aston Villa and the finish against Fulham.
Cole Palmer Best Goals of 2026
Palmer’s Hat-Trick Against Wolves
The standout scoring performance of 2026 came at Molineux on February 7.
Palmer scored twice from the penalty spot and then completed his hat-trick with an open-play finish. Chelsea won 3-1, and the performance helped Palmer reclaim the spotlight after a difficult period affected by fitness problems.
Beyond the three goals, the performance was historically significant. Palmer became the first player to score three first-half hat-tricks in Premier League history.
Palmer Against Aston Villa
On March 4, Palmer scored Chelsea’s fourth goal in a 4-1 win at Villa Park.
João Pedro had already produced a hat-trick before Palmer added his name to the scoresheet with a powerful finish from the edge of the area. The goal was an example of Palmer’s ability to arrive in dangerous positions without needing to be the team’s central striker.
Palmer Against Sunderland
Palmer’s May goal came in difficult circumstances.
Chelsea were 2-0 down at Sunderland on the final day of the Premier League season when Palmer scored in the 56th minute to give the visitors hope. Pedro Neto provided the assist, but Chelsea could not find an equalizer and lost 2-1.
Palmer Against Fulham
The newest addition to Palmer’s 2026 goal collection came at Craven Cottage on August 24.
Chelsea had taken the lead through João Pedro, conceded an equalizer, and then regained control when Morgan Rogers scored. Palmer subsequently added Chelsea’s third goal. His finish helped the club secure a 3-2 victory in Xabi Alonso’s first competitive game in charge.
| Date | Opponent | Competition | Result | Goal Type |
| Jan 17, 2026 | Brentford | Premier League | Chelsea win | Penalty |
| Feb 7, 2026 | Wolves | Premier League | Chelsea win | 2 penalties + open play |
| Feb 10, 2026 | Leeds | Premier League | Draw | Penalty |
| Mar 4, 2026 | Aston Villa | Premier League | Chelsea win | Open play |
| May 24, 2026 | Sunderland | Premier League | Chelsea loss | Open play |
| Aug 24, 2026 | Fulham | Premier League | Chelsea win | Open play |
Cole Palmer 2026 Goals vs Previous Seasons
Palmer’s development is easier to understand when his Chelsea numbers are placed beside his previous campaigns.
Chelsea’s official 2025/26 review recorded 11 goals and three assists in 34 appearances, with 2,689 minutes played. The club also noted that injury disrupted the beginning of his campaign.
For comparison, Opta’s career data lists Palmer with 22 Premier League goals in 2023/24, 15 in 2024/25 and 10 in 2025/26.
| Season/Year | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Goal Contributions |
| 2023/24 | 33 PL | 22 PL | 11 PL | 33 |
| 2024/25 | 37 PL | 15 PL | 8 PL | 23 |
| 2025/26 | 26 PL | 10 PL | 1 PL* | 11* |
| 2026 calendar year | — | 8 PL | Multiple | Multiple |
*Assist totals can vary by provider; Chelsea’s official all-competition season total was three assists in 2025/26.
The most important trend is that Palmer remains a high-impact scorer despite a disrupted 2025/26 campaign. His 2023/24 season was extraordinary, with 22 Premier League goals, while his 2024/25 campaign produced another 15. The 10 league goals recorded in 2025/26 were lower, but his injury problems help explain the reduction.
Cole Palmer vs Other Top Players in 2026
Comparing attacking players purely by goals can be misleading because their positions, teams, competitions and minutes are different.
Palmer’s closest English comparisons often include Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka, while Lamine Yamal, Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior are frequently mentioned in discussions about Europe’s elite young attacking talent.
The most interesting comparison is with Foden. Both are left-footed English attackers capable of playing centrally or from wide areas. Reuters reported that Foden endured a difficult 2026 and had no goals during the calendar year up to July, before the new season began.
Saka, meanwhile, began Arsenal’s 2026/27 Premier League season with a goal against Coventry on August 21.
| Player | 2026 Context | Playing Profile |
| Cole Palmer | 8 Chelsea goals in calendar 2026 | Attacking midfielder / forward |
| Phil Foden | Difficult 2026 before new season | Midfielder / forward |
| Bukayo Saka | Scored in Arsenal’s opening PL match | Right winger / forward |
| Lamine Yamal | Major Barcelona and Spain attacking role | Winger / attacker |
| Jude Bellingham | Central attacking midfielder | Midfielder |
| Vinícius Jr. | Elite wide forward for Real Madrid | Left winger / forward |
The comparison also highlights Palmer’s unique role. He is not simply a winger or traditional No.10. His ability to drift between positions allows him to create and finish chances.
What Makes Cole Palmer Such a Dangerous Goalscorer?
Finishing Ability
Palmer is comfortable finishing from different areas of the penalty box. His 2026 goals have included penalties, edge-of-the-box finishes and close-range opportunities.
Left-Footed Shooting
His left foot is one of his most valuable weapons. Palmer can shift inside from the right and open up shooting angles that are difficult for defenders to block.
Positioning
Palmer’s movement is often more important than his final touch. He frequently finds space between the midfield and defensive lines and can arrive late around the penalty area.
Penalty-Taking Ability
Palmer’s penalty record is a major component of his scoring profile. His confidence from 12 yards was particularly obvious during the Wolves hat-trick.
Chance Creation
Palmer is not only a finisher. His two assists against Napoli demonstrated how quickly he can change a match through creative passes.
Composure
One of Palmer’s defining qualities is his calmness. He often appears comfortable when receiving the ball in high-pressure attacking situations.
Open-Play and Set-Piece Threat
Although penalties contribute significantly to his totals, Palmer has also demonstrated the ability to score from open play. The goals against Wolves, Aston Villa and Fulham illustrate that his scoring threat does not disappear outside penalty situations.
Cole Palmer’s Role at Chelsea in 2026
Chelsea’s attacking structure has continued to evolve around Palmer.
During the 2025/26 campaign, Palmer operated as one of Chelsea’s principal creative attackers. He could play from the right, move centrally or operate behind the striker. His influence was especially clear when Chelsea needed a player capable of connecting midfield with the front line.
His role also changed under different managers. During the 2026/27 opener against Fulham, new head coach Xabi Alonso used Palmer as part of an attacking trio with João Pedro and Morgan Rogers. All three scored in the 3-2 victory.
That combination could become particularly important for Palmer’s future goal numbers. If he has more runners around him, he can alternate between creator and finisher instead of carrying the entire attacking burden himself.
His assist for João Pedro and subsequent goal against Fulham provided a glimpse of that balance.
Cole Palmer’s Role for England in 2026
For England, Palmer has had to compete with a deep pool of attacking talent.
His versatility gives him an advantage because he can play as an attacking midfielder or from either side of the attack. However, competition from players such as Saka, Foden, Jude Bellingham and other forwards means a starting position is never guaranteed.
Palmer’s England scoring record remains much smaller than his Chelsea record. The England International Database lists him with two senior goals overall, despite having made his debut in 2023.
His 2026 international campaign included appearances against Uruguay and Japan, but neither produced a goal.
That contrast is one of the more interesting aspects of Palmer’s career: his club performances have generally produced a much higher level of direct goal involvement than his international numbers so far.
Cole Palmer 2026 Goals – Monthly Breakdown
The monthly distribution shows just how heavily Palmer’s 2026 scoring record depended on a few high-impact periods.
| Month | Goals | Key Moment |
| January | 1 | Goal vs Brentford |
| February | 4 | Wolves hat-trick + Leeds penalty |
| March | 1 | Goal vs Aston Villa |
| April | 0 | No goal |
| May | 1 | Goal vs Sunderland |
| June | 0 | No Chelsea matches |
| July | 0 | No Chelsea competitive matches |
| August | 1 | Goal vs Fulham |
| Total | 8 | — |
January
Palmer began the calendar year with a Premier League goal against Brentford on January 17. It was a penalty and represented the first of his eight Chelsea goals in 2026.
February
February was unquestionably Palmer’s most productive month.
He scored three against Wolves and another against Leeds, giving him four goals. He also assisted in the Leeds match.
March
Palmer scored once in the Premier League during March, finding the net against Aston Villa in Chelsea’s 4-1 victory.
April
April was a scoreless month for Palmer. He featured in Premier League and FA Cup matches but did not score.
May
Palmer returned to the scoresheet against Sunderland on the final day of the Premier League season.
June and July
There were no Chelsea competitive matches contributing to Palmer’s calendar-year goal tally during these months.
August
Palmer scored against Fulham in Chelsea’s first Premier League game of the 2026/27 season.
Cole Palmer Goals 2026 – Home vs Away
Palmer’s calendar-year goals have come in both home and away matches.
His hat-trick against Wolves was scored away at Molineux, while his Brentford and Leeds goals came at Stamford Bridge. His Aston Villa goal also arrived away from home, as did his Sunderland goal.
His latest goal against Fulham was another away goal, making his recent calendar-year record particularly strong in road matches.
| Venue | Notable 2026 Goals |
| Home | Brentford, Leeds |
| Away | Wolves, Aston Villa, Sunderland, Fulham |
| Neutral | None |
The venue split also demonstrates that Palmer is not dependent on Stamford Bridge to produce goals. Some of his biggest 2026 performances came away from home, particularly the three-goal performance at Wolves.
Cole Palmer 2026 Goal Contributions
A goal contribution combines goals and assists, giving a broader picture of attacking influence.
Palmer’s 2026 record shows why this measure is useful. He scored eight goals for Chelsea in the calendar year, but his contribution went beyond scoring. He assisted twice in the Champions League victory over Napoli and was involved creatively in several other matches.
The Fulham match was another perfect example. Palmer assisted João Pedro and then scored himself. Chelsea’s three-man attack was directly involved in all three goals, with João Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Palmer each finding the net.
This is why evaluating Palmer only through the phrase “Cole Palmer goals 2026” misses part of his value. His ability to create chances for teammates is equally important.
Chelsea’s official 2025/26 statistics recorded Palmer with 11 goals and three assists in all competitions, giving him 14 direct goal contributions for the season.

Chelsea’s official end-of-season statistics confirm Palmer’s 11 goals and three assists in 2025/26, while the August 24 Fulham match added his first goal of the new campaign.
Conclusion
The Cole Palmer Goals 2026 story is one of recovery, explosive scoring and renewed attacking influence.
As of August 26, Palmer has scored eight goals for Chelsea in the 2026 calendar year. His most productive period came in February, when he scored four times, including a record-setting first-half hat-trick against Wolves. He then scored against Aston Villa, Sunderland and, most recently, Fulham.
His 2026 record also demonstrates that Palmer is more than a goalscorer. His creative contribution was particularly clear in the Champions League win over Napoli, where he supplied two assists, while his performance against Fulham showed the potential of Chelsea’s new attacking setup under Xabi Alonso.
There is also an important statistical distinction between the calendar year and the football season. Palmer’s eight goals in 2026 include seven from the second half of the 2025/26 campaign and one from the opening game of 2026/27. Chelsea’s official 2025/26 review separately recorded him with 11 goals and three assists across all competitions for that season.
The next stage of Palmer’s 2026 story will depend on how consistently he can stay fit and maintain his scoring rhythm. If his Fulham performance is an indication of what is coming, Chelsea supporters have plenty of reason to expect Palmer to remain central to the club’s attacking plans.
For anyone tracking Cole Palmer Goals 2026, the key figure currently stands at eight Chelsea goals, with the year still having more football to come.
