Enzo Fernandez made his Chelsea debut following his club-record arrival on Deadline Day, while Mykhailo Mudryk started for the first time.
Both sides had chances in the opening 45 minutes, with Kepa Arrizabalaga making a fingertip save to deny Fulham's Andreas Pereira.
At the other end Kai Havertz almost put Chelsea ahead just before the break, but his lofted effort clipped the woodwork.
New signing Noni Madueke replaced Mudryk for the second half, and in so doing became the 31st player used by Chelsea in the Premier League this season, their most in a campaign since 1996/97.
Aleksandar Mitrovic came close with an audacious lob from the halfway line, while Chelsea pushed hard for a late breakthrough.
Fernandez almost marked his first appearance with a goal as his 30-yard strike swerved inches wide, while substitute David Fofana was denied a debut goal by Tim Ream's goalline clearance.
The draw moves both Chelsea up one place to ninth on 30 points, two behind Fulham, who claimed their first point at Stamford Bridge since 2012, in sixth spot.
