In the present manuscript, a new numerical scheme is presented for solving the time fractional nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. The approximate solutions of the fractional equation are based on cubic B-spline collocation finite element method and L2 algorithm. The fractional derivative in the given equation is handled in terms of Caputo sense. Using the methods, fractional differential equation is converted into algebraic equation system that are appropriate for computer coding. Then, two model problems are considered and their error norms are calculated to demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed method. The newly calculated error norms show that numerical results are in a good agreement with the exact solutions.
