On 28 April 2006, it was announced that Bullard would sign for Fulham at the end of the 2005–06 season after a £2.5 million offer from the London club triggered a release clause in his contract.
On 16 May 2006, Bullard was officially confirmed as a Fulham player.

Bullard's Fulham debut came as the team lost 5–1 to Manchester United on 20 August 2006.
His first goal for Fulham came against Bolton Wanderers on 26 August, a last-minute penalty kick to level the scores at 1–1.
Three days later, after he scored a 28-yard (26 m) curling free kick against Sheffield United in a 1–0 win, Fulham boss Chris Coleman hailed Bullard as "the best £2million we've ever spent".

On 9 September 2006, Bullard dislocated his kneecap in a match against Newcastle United.
This injury was thought to keep him out for six to eight weeks.
However three days later it was revealed that Bullard would in fact be out for up to nine months with cruciate knee ligament damage.
Fulham's new manager Lawrie Sanchez announced that the midfielder was aiming to return around October 2007.
However, he did not make a first team appearance until 12 January 2008, coming off the bench to play against West Ham.
Bullard then came on as a half time substitute in a 2–1 win against Aston Villa on 3 February, setting up the equaliser then scoring the winning goal from a 25-yard (23 m) free kick and winning the man of the match award.
He scored an identical free kick weeks later, to rescue a point against Blackburn Rovers and keep Fulham's hope of Premier League survival alive.

After missing a large part of the season due to injury, his return to the team, along with club captain Brian McBride, sparked Fulham into a run of form which saw them move out of the bottom three with one game remaining, after a 2–0 victory over Birmingham City.
After helping Fulham out of the relegation zone, Bullard vowed to stay at Fulham to remain loyal with the club.

At the start of the 2008–09 season, Bullard found himself being linked with various clubs, with his former club, Wigan, expressing an interest in signing him.
However, newly appointed manager Roy Hodgson said that he would not sell Bullard, insisting he was a key player.
Bullard claimed he was in talks to sign a new deal with the club.
However, this was denied by the club.
The surrounding of Bullard's future at Fulham left him "very confused".
Despite being regularly featured in the first team in the first half of the season, it was reported on Sky Sports that Bullard was told by the club that he could leave the club.
