Chelsea starts their 2025/26 Premier League season by hosting Crystal Palace on Stamford Bridge, live on Sky Sports on Sunday 17 August.
Nicolas Jackson was sent from the Blues to Newcastle to Newcastle during the 2-0 defeat, the opener will miss because he serves the last suspension of three games, which could mean for a start for the summer signature Liam Delap.
The side of Enzo Maresca – Reigning Conference League Champions – will discover their Champions League opponents when the trek is made on 28 August.
The blues do not travel outside of London until 20 September, when they take on Manchester United in Old Trafford.
They are confronted with two Derbies in West -Londs in their opening four, with the visit of Fulham on 30 August and a trip to Brentford on September 13. The reverse match against the whites is on January 7, with the visit of the bees to Stamford Bridge 10 days later on January 17.
On paper, Chelsea has a heavy end to the season to contend. They are confronted with both Manchester City and Manchester United, as well as Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Tottenham.
They close the campaign with a trip to Sunderland.
