Chelsea’s fixtures for the 2025/26 season were released this morning and you can see the full list below.

Fans should be aware the initial fixture list is subject to change, with potential rescheduling due to European fixtures, cup matches or games being selected for television broadcast.

 

The only kick-off day and time which has been officially confirmed is our opening day match as it has been selected for television broadcast.

 

The Blues will kick off our 2025/26 season on Sunday 17 August when we welcome London rivals Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge for a 2pm kick-off, with the match being shown live on Sky Sports in the UK.

 

Crystal Palace finished the 2024/25 campaign in 12th but are set to play in a major European competition for the first time in their history next season after winning the FA Cup – although which tournament is unclear as they currently await an appeal with UEFA due to rules around multi-club ownership.

 

The Blues start the season with four London derbies on the bounce, as we travel to West Ham United the following weekend, welcome Fulham on the weekend of 30-31 August and then following the first international window of the campaign, travel to Brentford on the weekend of 13-14 September.

 

The festive fixtures are always one of the highlights of the English football calendar and according to the list provided by the Premier League, Chelsea are scheduled to welcome Aston Villa on Saturday 27 December and Bournemouth on Tuesday 30 December, with a trip to Manchester City pencilled in for Saturday 3 January. As with all fixtures, this is subject to change and the games slated for December 27 are often changed to Boxing Day as part of TV selection.

 

Enzo Maresca’s men will then conclude our Premier League campaign with a trip to newly-promoted Sunderland on Sunday 24 May.

 

Chelsea qualified for the Champions League next season following our fourth-place finish and our European campaign will get underway across the week of 16–18 September.

 

You can see a full list of fixtures below and read more about some of the key matches across there season here.
